Scottish town puts its past on display by coldrum on Thursday, 01 October 2009

Scottish town puts its past on display

Some of the significant events in an Angus town's history, including
its involvement in two wars, are being recalled to mark Scottish
Archaeology Month. Montrose Museum has mounted a timeline exhibition
charting the development of the area since prehistoric times. Some of
the earliest artefacts on display include Mesolithic arrowheads,
dating from around 6000 BCE, and a Stone Age flint axe. Visitors will
also be able to see how the town has changed down the years. The
exhibition, There's a Time and Place, will run until the end of October.
