This Is My GlasgowLooking out over the northern edge of the Roman Empire from the Lambhill Stables in Glasgow, or at least what was its northern edge between AD 142, when the Antonine Wall was constructed, and AD 162, when it was abandoned as the Romans pulled back to Hadrian's Wall.<a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#glasgow</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/antoninewall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#antoninewall</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/lambhillstables" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lambhillstables</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/possilmarsh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#possilmarsh</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/romanbritain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#romanbritain</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/sculpture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sculpture</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/publicart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#publicart</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#glasgowhistory</a>

Undiscovered ScotlandRough 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.
