Edge Of The Empire
Today I had a quick trip off island to visit a supplier in Cumbernauld and noticed on the map that it was very close to a section of The Antonine Wall*. It's not very well promoted and looking at it takes a bit of instruction to work it out (see Extra1), but there are a couple of clues on the way (Extra2). Basically though the "path" (RHS) goes up the bank created from digging the ditch (centre), with the main turf wall being on the other bank(LHS).
I had wondered where exactly the route of this wall was, but never imagined I would find out while picking up stock for work.
[*Construction of The Antonine Wall began In CE142 at the order of the Roman Emperor Antoninus Pius.]
