Elgin 30 January 1862; d. 9 August Edinburgh 1940) was an eminent archaeologist and numismatist who studied the building of the Antonine wall. The author Alexander Ormiston Curle was born in 1866 raised in Melrose in the Scottish Borders. Curle followed his father into the legal profession but he always found the time to indulge in his love of antiquaries. Between 1896 and 1908 Curle found time to publish some eleven archaeological papers. He was rapidly becoming one of Scotland's leading antiquarians. In 1908 Curle was appointed Secretary of the newly established Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments.
