The present ice age started over 2.5 million years ago and we live in a warm interglacial period within that ice age.
The last interglacial ended less than 120,000 years ago, so as far as Scotland is concerned, the last glaciation started about 115,000 years ago.
There was a warm period about 14,700 years ago but glaciers returned at 12,900 years, (Loch Lomond Readvance) and only started warming again 11,500 years ago.

The most recent ice age ended how many years ago?
The last glacial period is sometimes colloquially referred to as the 'last ice age'. But the use of 'ice age' is incorrect. Glacials, on the other hand, refer to colder phases within an ice age that separate interglacials. The end of the last glacial period is not the end of the last ice age. The end of the last glacial period was about 10,500 BCE, while the end of the last ice age has not yet come.
