Galloway Hoard: Where did the silver come from?

The Viking Age is known for its silver treasures. The Galloway Hoard , buried around AD 900, was discovered by metal-detecting in 2014 in Kirkcudbrightshire. It was allocated to National Museums Scotland in 2017 after a successful fundraising campaign supported by the National Heritage Memorial Fund and the Art Fund.
