SIGN UP FOR FREE

Once caricatured as a time of blood, the Viking age was an era of huge political and cultural change. Out of it came many of the structures that would remake nations and shape the future of Scotland and England, a process in which Galloway was central. Adrián Maldonado takes an intimate journey through the collections of the National Museum of Scotland to reveal a story less told.

To celebrate the start of our Scotland's Year of Stories 2022 programme, we'll be giving three signed copies of Adrián Maldonado's new book Crucible of Nations: Scotland from Viking Age to Medieval Kingdom to attendees at this event.
