Support the conservation of the Peebles Hoard
Please donate today to conserve the Peebles Hoard and help reveal the stories of life in Bronze Age Scotland.
The Peebles Hoard is one of the most significant Bronze Age hoards ever found in Scotland, with little else like it known from western Europe.
It contains rare bronze objects, some never seen before in Scotland, and there is some exceptional preservation of organic material within the hoard. The hoard includes many decorated bronze fittings, studs and pins still attached to leather or wood. Following lifting and excavation, our conservation team has been able to stabilise these materials for the short term.
Without further immediate conservation action, these parts of the hoard are in danger of severe degradation.
We need to raise £200,289 for a three-year investigative conservation programme to stabilise and preserve the hoard. This will make it available for the public to see and enable continued study. This essential conservation work will allow its stories to be told for years to come.
Please make a donation today so that we can preserve and research the hoard, for the next generation.
