The elaborately carved Hilton of Cadboll stone, the house-shaped Monymusk Reliquary and the sumptuously decorated Hunterston brooch (all on view in the National Museum of Scotland) are evidence of the sophistication of Scottish craftsmen in the time AD 300-900. A pioneering partnership between National Museums Scotland and The Glenmorangie Company has supported a major programme of research into the archaeology of Scotland during the Early Medieval period. This is the paperback edition of the book first published in 2012.
'This handsomely produced book provides a provocative and stimulating read ... a book that has high ambition, enthusiastic articulation and a welcome focus on objects and their human relationships.' Archaeology Scotland; '... milestone in Scottish archaeological publishing ... will also be appreciated for the high quality of its photographic content, providing a luxuriant visual record of so many of the surviving objects from early medieval Scotland.'
