A bronze zoomorphic brooch from the foreshore at Rhodes Links was donated to the National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland (NMAS) in 1973 by the Queen's and Lord Treasurer's Remembrancer. It was found in a rock pool below high tide mark at NT 5772 8562 in 1971. It could not have survived in such a situation for long and is assumed to have weathered out of the cliff behind the beach, and to have been found and thrown away again by earlier passers-by. The brooch belongs to Mrs Fowler's Class F, and probably dates to the 5th century AD.
