The remains of the remarkable Bearsden Roman Baths, on the Antonine Wall which was built between AD142 and 144. The baths were rediscovered in 1973 under 1860s development and are now overlooked by rather more modern neighbours.

Rough Castle Roman Fort, on one of the best preserved stretches of the Antonine Wall near Falkirk. It's a great place to appreciate what the wall was like: and, just possibly, was the origin of the story of King Arthur’s Camelot.

The Entrance to the Huntarian Museum at Glasgow University.
Opening in 1807, the Huntarian Museum is the oldest public museum in Scotland. Based on the collections of William Hunter, it now houses over one million items.
Of particular note (and well worth checking out) are its collection of marker stones from the Antonine Wall

Defensive Roman pits, or lilia, protecting the Antonine Wall at Rough Castle near Falkirk. For a time this formed part of the north-west frontier of a Roman Empire that stretched all the way to the Middle East.

A #BoxingDay walk along the #ForthAndClydeCanal to the #AntonineWall at #SeabegsWood, made only slightly less enjoyable by the hail shower that caught me as I began to make my way home.
