Bolts anywhere?

I noticed, that there are plenty of crossbows in Cirren Ceaster. I love them, so bought one. But I was unable to find bolts. Nowhere. Took a long trip around the Isles, went into all of the arms merchant stores, but there weren't any bolts. Also, I was not able to get some as spoils of war...
Anybody else experienced this?

they had crossbows in 636 AD?!

I've heard of them in the BC, but more the large rock-throwing siege type.

Google's take:

You could just wiki it and find that personal crossbows were used as far back as 5th century BC.

According to Osprey's Pictish Warrior Ad 297-841 "The Roman crossbow is also depicted on Shandwick and St. Vigeans, and several 7th-8th century crossbow bolts and remains were recovered".
