Description: Online exhibition from Dumfries and Galloway Museums and Galleries of early Christian sites and carved crosses, with a clickable map of sites.
The Dark Ages were a time of great change. From the early 5th century to the middle of the 7th century Dumfries and Galloway formed part of the British kingdom of Rheged. Christianity was already well established across much of the area and by AD 450 Christian communities such as Whithorn were centres for missionaries working further north among the southern Picts. Trade was important and Whithorn and the Mote of Mark near Rockcliffe were rich enough to import wine and other luxury goods from continental Europe.
