An amazing hoard! I was fortunate enough to be there when it was uncovered (I wasn't the finder, but took lots of the photos)

The NMS is certainly on a par with the BM, some of the Viking stuff is ridiculous!
Lovely city, great museum - had a lovely weekend up there for my 50th year and a large amount of the Galloway hoard was on display.
