The Migdale Hoard is a group of early
Bronze Age jewellery discovered by workmen blasting a granite knoll behind
Bonar Bridge,
Scotland, near what is known as "Tulloch Hill" in May 1900.
Dating from about 2000-1150 BC, the artifacts are in the custody of the
National Museum of Scotland in
Edinburgh. They include a bronze axe head, sets of bronze bangles and anklets, and a series of beautifully carved jet and cannel coal buttons that may well have adorned a Bronze Age jacket, bronze hair ornaments and fragments of an elaborate bronze headdress.
