Everything focuses around the central fire.
Written on this late glacial and Mesolithic archaeological site: Rubha Port an-t Sielich, on Islay, in the Western Hebrides, by Sarah and archaeologist Will Attard, evoking how it was to be one of the ice-age hunter-gatherers that used the camp; arriving on skin boats, telling stories, making tools and cooking on the campfire, observed by the seals in the bay.
