Unique Bronze Age hoard found near Peebles by metal detector enthusiast:
A complete horse harness and sword dating back to between 900BC and 1,000BC were uncovered in a field near Peebles.
That discovery is said to be only the second of its kind ever found in Scotland and it's also the first, thanks to how well preserved it is, allowing archaeologists to see how harnesses were assembled at that time.
The hoard was discovered by Mariusz Stepien, 44, while scanning the field with friends on Sunday, June 21.
