From here he acquired various positions as Assistant Keeper, Curator, Senior Creator and reader before being awarded a personal professorship. Whilst working for the Museum his remit covered prehistory, classical archaeology, ethnography and Scottish history. The main focus for his research interests were Roman archaeology, particularly in Scotland and Italy, a subject that he has extensively written about. Having a long association with the Glasgow Archaeological Society and being its president, 1988-91, Lawrence Keppie has travelled widely visiting Roman archaeological sites throughout Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, undertaking excavations throughout Roman sites in Scotland, including the Antonine Wall and field surveys in Italy.

In 1995 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh and from 1999 to 2004 he was the editor of Britannia, the national journal of Romano-British studies.
