Late Glacial Interstadial

The Late Glacial Interstadial, also known as the Bølling–Allerød interstadial, occurred after the Last Glacial Maximum, spanning from around 12,700 BCE to 10,900 BCE. This phase marked a period of rapid warming, resulting in the retreat of glaciers and the re-colonization of the Scottish landscape by various plant species, before the onset of the colder Younger Dryas stage.
