Scotland's First Peoples

Scotland's First People

How our an​cestors shaped the land and how it shaped their lives.

Displays:

  • The First People in Scotland – the landscape provided more than food and shelter for our early ancestors. It was central to their cultural and ritual practices
  • Death and Ritual in Bronze Age Scotland – how burial traditions developed, and why valuable items were buried with people
  • Living on the Water – what was life like on crannogs, artificial islands built on water?
  • Vikings in Scotland – the Vikings were not just violent raiders. They settled, intermarried and farmed here. What were their lives like?
