A public talk focusing on the influence of Roman history and its connection to healthcare in Scotland is scheduled for March 17, 2024. Dr. Andrew Newton, a retired NHS emergency medicine consultant with a passion for Roman history, will lead the discussion. The event, hosted by the Cromarty History Society, will take place at Victoria Hall in Cromarty, starting at 19:30.
Many people believe that the Romans stopped at Hadrian’s Wall, but Dr. Newton aims to challenge this perception. His extensive work with museums, schools, and history groups has equipped him with unique insights into the Roman presence in Scotland. This talk will build on the success of a previous event held in 2024, further engaging the community in the rich tapestry of local history.
