Introducing… the Peebles Hoard 🥁 ✨

It’s a spectacular collection of bronze, leather and wooden material dating to the Late Bronze Age (c.1000-800 BCE).

Many of these objects have never been found before in Scotland.

So, as you can imagine, we’re *pretty* excited

Step Back in Time to find out how people lived and farmed the Dove valley as far back as 625 A.D.
For a day out with a difference, why not come and find out what secrets were revealed when an unusually located peat bog was found in the glorious scenery of the Upper Dove Valley
