Magnet fishers have discovered a 350-year-old cannonball thought to have been used during the English Civil War.
The group were carrying out a search of the River Lochy in the Scottish Highlands - overlooked by the ruins of Inverlochy Castle.
Their searches revealed clean waters - until Magnet Fishing Edinburgh group member Eryn's magnet picked up a metal sphere.
After examining the object and consulting a local history buff, the group have now come to believe they have discovered a cannonball - which would have likely been used in the 1645 Battle of Inverlochy.
