Fossils of one-billion-year- old organisms found in a Scottish loch could hold new clues to the origins of life.

They show that simple lifeforms could have evolved on land when it was thought it only existed in the sea.

The findings at Loch Torridon reveal the bacteria could reproduce and made a giant leap towards more complex cells, says this week’s Nature journal.
