Steps leading down to Iain Road
Image: © Lairich Rig Taken: 3 Jul 2015
These steps lead out of the western end of Roman Park, and down to Iain Road, part of which is visible ahead. Close to the point from which this picture was taken, the line of the Antonine Wall changes direction, as the map shows. The Wall heads west towards this point (compare Image), but then turns to head north-west for a distance of about 250 metres before resuming a more westerly course. This flight of steps is on the line of the Wall, and is on the same SE-NW alignment, so, as well as being a view down the steps, this picture is a view along the line of this part (built over with housing) of the Antonine Wall. For a view back up the steps, see Image
