The Orkney Hood in the National Museum of Scotland

The Orkney Hood is the only complete piece of clothing from before the medieval period in Scotland. Its story began in an Orkney peat bog over 1,500 years ago, where it was either accidentally lost or purposely left. We’ll never know which, or why. Would you wear it? Join Dr Alice Blackwell on a journey through the National Museum of Scotland to visit the Orkney Hood.
