Abstract
While ancient Thule was probably located beyond modern Scotland (Breeze & Wilkins 2018), the title of this contribution seems appropriate since Scotland was on the margin of the Bronze Age world depicted by Patrice Brun (1991: fig. 8, insert). After a brief period when copper and gold were used, bronze was adopted in Scotland around 2200 BC and bronze metalwork continued in use until sometime after 800 BC. The latest summary of Scottish Bronze Age metalwork is available online as part of the Scottish Archaeological Research Framework.
