About a mile from here, some 20 metres down are some amazing archaeological finds. Five huge iron cannon, two anchors and a great spread of smashed Spanish pottery dating from the late 16th century.

It’s tempting to think that they might be part of a Spanish Armada galleon sunk after the famous naval battle. But if so, how, why and when, did they get here to Kinlochbervie, which is right on the north western corner of Scotland.

Time Team have got just three days to dive these treacherous waters and find out.
