Roman Inveresk: Past, Present and Future

M.C. Bishop (ed): Roman Inveresk: Past, Present and Future
ISBN 0-9539848-6-9cover of Roman Inveresk

This fully illustrated book has its origins in a seminar held at the National Museums of Scotland in 1999 and jointly organised by Historic Scotland and The Society of Antiquaries of Scotland. The various contributors describe recent projects relating to all aspects of the study of the Roman fort at Inveresk (East Lothian) and its environs.

Written to appeal to both those with an interest in the Romans, as well as those passionate about Inveresk and its past, the book shows both how little and how much we know about the site.
