Bryaxis Hecatee Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 FROM : Adrian Murdoch's blog "Bread and Circus" (http://adrianmurdoch.typepad.com/my_weblog/2010/10/more-on-roman-perthshire.html) A passionate letter in yesterday's Courier about Roman remains in Perthshire from Professor JJ Robertson, best known for his work on the Gask Ridge: My students have always been impressed by the wealth of Roman material which lies around us. Within a 30-mile radius of Dundee, there are at least 30 Roman sites ranging from legionary fortresses through a spectrum of fort camps to small signal stations... It is now imperative that steps be taken immediately to give as much publicity as possible to the archaeology and history of the Romans in Perthshire and Tayside, especially since the Antonine Wall has been scheduled as a World Heritage Site. Much Roman material still lies hidden in our museums. There should be permanent, or changing, displays in museums such as Perth, Abernethy, Meigle, Dundee and Forfar. Full letter here. His note was in answer to a long op-ed piece in the same paper earlier in the week which has a good list of the Roman remains in Perthshire: ► Ardunie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
