Who we are
We are a charitable organisation and our interest is in the Roman Fort at Newstead, Melrose, and the associated Roman Iron Age in Southern Scotland.
Our purposes are:
- To increase knowledge and community awareness of the Roman Fort at Newstead and the Roman Iron Age in Southern Scotland.
- To collect and conserve archaeological material from the Roman Iron Age and present it in our Museum in Melrose.
