Despite the inclement weather, families flocked to the museum’s excellent contribution to the Festival of Museums - an annual event coordinated by Museums Galleries Scotland to showcase Scotland’s extensive cultural offering.
Guests got the chance to meet the Antonine Guard as we
ll as visit a small Celtic encampment as they discovered what life was really like on the Antonine Wall.
Mark Grant, General Manager of East Dunbartonshire Leisure and Culture Trust said, "The Rampaging Romans and Crafty Celts event proved to be a big hit with families who attended.
“Everyone seemed to have a lot of fun finding out more about our local history and taking part in some entertaining events like face painting, basket weaving and learning to write like a Roman.”
