A large fragment of a Bartmann jug uncovered at the site of the ‘Summerhouse of MacIain’ in 2023. Bartmann jugs were produced in towns along the Rhine in Germany in the 16th and 17th centuries, and would have been traded to Scotland carrying beer and wine. The pottery assemblage from this site, along with the discovery of the ‘Glencoe hoard’ highlight how connected the Highlands were to the rest of Europe (c) Dr Michael Given
