Cradle of Scotland

Cradle of Scotland combines original artefacts found by the University of Glasgow’s Strathearn Environs and Royal Forteviot (SERF) project with replicas and visualisations, creating a stunning exhibition that explores the archaeological history of Scotland. Forteviot has a special place in Scottish history and archaeologists from the University of Glasgow have been exploring the area since 2006. The death of King Kenneth mac Alpin, one of the first kings of a united Scotland, was recorded at the ‘palace’ of Forteviot in AD 858 when the site was a major royal centre in the fledgling Scottish nation. Forteviot is also the location of one of the most extensive concentrations of early prehistoric ritual monuments in mainland Scotland. Cradle of Scotland also showcases the latest advances, technologies and discoveries in Scottish archaeology. Visitors will learn about the modern archaeological process in Scotland, and about the application of latest investigative and reconstructive methods.
