A 14-year-old schoolboy helping out at an archaeological dig in Glasgow has found one of a set of lost gravestones from the Middle Ages.

Mark McGettigan's discovery at Govan Old Parish Church led to two more sculpted gravestones being found.

Dating to the 10th and 11th centuries, they are part of a collection known as the Govan Stones.

Historians and archaeologists had feared the decorated stones, which had for years stood against a wall of the churchyard, were destroyed.
