THE historical impact of the Romans on East Lothian has been revealed.
Dr Fraser Hunter, principal curator of prehistoric and Roman archaeology at the National Museum of Scotland, gave a talk to 96 members and visitors of Gullane and Dirleton History Society.
The Romans occupied Scotland, including East Lothian, at various times in the first, second and third centuries AD.
Dr Hunter presented artefacts and remains from Inveresk, including a temple to Mithras, pots and gravestones, and treasure from Traprain Law, shedding light on the activities of the Romans.
He did caution, however, that the Romans were sometimes "a little economical with the truth".
