The Road to Mons Graupius: A Journey Through Roman Scotland; by Alan Montgomery

In this talk, Alan Montgomery will discuss his new book that charts his journey along a Roman road through Scotland, from the Borders up to Angus through some of the country's most spectacular landscapes and past many of its most intriguing ancient monuments. Travelling on foot, by bicycle and by car, the author searched for evidence of the first-century Roman invasion led by the famous general Agricola along the way and also explored the impact that both the Roman conquest and the account of it written by Tacitus have had on Scots across the centuries.
