- The Rogart Brooch is a large penannular brooch of Pictish origin, dated to the eighth century. Characteristic of contemporary Pictish brooches, it contains three-dimensional bird-head inserts formed with glass. It was discovered at Rogart, Sutherland, in Scotland in 1868 as part of a hoard of 8th century brooches. The hoard was unearthed during rock-blasting for the construction of the Sutherland Railway. A workman found the collection of brooches in earth uncovered by the removal of a large boulder. He immediately left his work and disappeared southwards, on the way passing two brooches to Mr Macleod, a shopkeeper in Cadboll, who displayed them to the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland in 1870. The total number of brooches discovered in the hoard was not recorded at the time. Both brooches are in the archaeology collection of the National Museum of Scotland. The Rogart Brooch, the larger of the two, is on permanent display in the museum in Edinburgh. A third brooch from the find went to the collection of the then Duke of Sutherland and later to Dunrobin Castle. (en)
