Bearsden Roman Bath-house: the Cold Room
Image: © Lairich Rig Taken: 3 Jul 2015
The area in the foreground was the frigidarium, the "cold room", the first room entered after leaving the changing room (for which, see Image). Note the modern flagstone with a star-shaped hole. The cold room extended up to and a little beyond that star. The raised area just beyond the star is the far end of the cold room. To the left of the cold room is the hot dry room. Ahead are the rooms that collectively made up the "steam range" (Image); in order: the first warm room, the second warm room, the hot room, and (to the right of the hot room) the hot bath. On the right is the last room to be visited, the cold bath (Image).
