The Romans in SW Scotland: A Review by Andrew Nicholson

An examination of maps of SW Scotland in the Roman period in recent publications indicates that most are a couple of decades out of date. Archaeological fieldwork, research, metal-detector finds, new aerial photography flights and the public availability of Lidar data for more than 80% of Dumfries and Galloway have added considerably to our knowledge over the last fifteen or so years. Regional archaeologist Andrew Nicholson presents an overview of the current state of knowledge along with current and forthcoming projects.
