My friend and colleague, Dr Gavin Lindsay has just written a beautifully illustrated book on Roman Scotland focussing, in part, on Roman Perthshire. Published by Innerpeffray Library it’s a great volume & one I’d recommend to anyone interested in Roman Scotland👇 innerpeffraylibrary.co.uk/shop/shop/rome…
More brilliant work done by The Antonine Wall and the local community 👏
West Dunbartonshire, including Old Kilpatrick within my ward, has a fascinating Roman history. You can now use the community map to explore some points of interest, like Vinni’s bench & the distance stone 🗺️🌳
Proud to present our new West Dunbartonshire Council Community map of the Antonine Wall as part of the #LocaltoGlobal UNESCO UK project with The National Lottery Heritage Fund ! This map was created with members of the local community earlier this year.
