In the course of the Prehistory project we came across mention of many ancient objects recovered from the soil in our designated area (eight miles around Blairgowrie). Most of these are now in museums, although not all are on display to the public and not all can be viewed online. A few are in private hands. We gained permission to make a collection of photographs of these objects, and a folder of these can be viewed as part of the prehistory display. We also have permission to make a limited edition poster of local artefacts. Meantime, here are some weblinks to images of a few of the artefacts that can be viewed online.
