Tarbat Discovery Centre

Tarbat Discovery Centre sits on the site of one of the most exciting recent finds in Scotland, a Pictish monastic settlement dating from the 7th century.  Nothing like it has been found elsewhere and archaeology has revealed an array of workshops devoted to the manufacture of precious metal objects, glasswork and the process of producing vellum from calfskins and then into the finest illuminated manuscripts.

Many of the tools used in the manufacture of these rare objects can be seen on display in the Museum along with interpretations that show the Picts, far from being simply a warlike people, were indeed among the finest craftsmen in the known world.
