Scotland's Early Silver: A Live Guided Tour

Scotland's Early Silver: A Guided Tour
Live from our new Scotland’s Early Silver exhibition, Alice Blackwell, Glenmorangie Research Fellow and co-curator of Scotland's Early Silver guides us through the exhibition.
Today gold is more valuable than silver, but in the first millennium AD silver was the most valued material in Scotland. This new and exotic material arrived with the occupying Roman army and had a lasting impact on Early Medieval society. It changed the way how people measured and conveyed power and prestige.
Featuring spectacular objects from the first 1,000 years of silver in Scotland, Scotland's Early Silver, Alice guides you through the part this precious metal played in the transformation of society throughout the first millennium AD.
The exhibition runs until 25 February 2018 and is supported by The Glenmorangie Research Project on Early Medieval Scotland.
