Bronze Age Shield Returns to Scotland: A Rare Opportunity to Study Ancient Warrior Symbol of Power

A Bronze Age shield, discovered near Beith in North Ayrshire in 1779, has returned to Scotland after over two centuries. It will be on display at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh for the upcoming exhibition, Scotlands First Warriors. The shield, along with five others from the museums collection, will be showcased, offering a unique chance to study their detailed designs and ribs. The shields, super rare in Britain, were likely owned by high-status individuals and used in Bronze Age battles. The exhibition runs from June 27 to May 17, 2027.
