St. Ninian’s Isle Eighth Century CE Pictish Brooches, National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh. 11.11.17. 

This exquisite set of brooches and pins was found as part of a hoard in the 1950s. The pieces are largely made of silver and feature a range of Pictish and Celtic motifs. The pieces may have been buried because of the challenges of potential Viking raids on small Scottish islands; they are likely to have been the collection of several generations of a community.
