Description

Scotland's Early Silver accompanies the exhibition, Scotland's early silver, held at the National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh, 13 October 2017 to 25 February 2018. The breadth of National Museums Scotland's collections, together with the support of The Glenmorangie Company, puts National Museums in a unique position to reveal the role of silver in the development of the first kingdoms of Scotland. It was silver, not gold, which was the most important and powerful precious metal in Scotland for over six hundred years and, as well as showcasing beautiful objects, the book builds on the Glenmorangie Research Project to gives fresh insights into this formative period of Scottish history.
