“…Roman objects from northern Scotland have attracted antiquarian and archaeological interest for more than two centuries. This interest has often focused on a search for Agricola's campaigns (eg Barclay 1792;Grant 1818;Hanson 1987;Maxwell 1990;Breeze 2002;Fraser 2005); more recent work has focused on the uses of Roman objects in native society (eg Macinnes 1984;Hunter 2001;2005a). While recent discoveries continue to expand the corpus (see Appendix), there are also finds which have lurked largely unknown in museum collections for many years.…”

The provenance of two Roman bronze vessels in the collections of Marischal Museum has recently been discovered in the journal of Rev John Skinner’s 1825 Northern Tour. The reliability of this source is discussed, alongside a consideration of the antiquarian networks of the time. The vessels comprise a dipper and strainer set: unusually, the strainer is unfinished, and possible implications of this are considered. An Appendix catalogues other, mostly unpublished, Roman material from north-east Scotland in the Marischal Museum.
