Montrose Museum is a local museum with archaeological collections covering Angus from prehistory onwards. Its Roman material is small, but it provides a helpful introduction to the forts and temporary camps that mark the army’s movement through the north-east.
The Roman display includes local finds and interpretation connected with military activity in Angus. Visitors should treat it as a regional introduction rather than a large specialist Roman gallery, and should check whether particular objects are on display before making a special journey.
