The Antonine Wall was built by the Emperor Antonius Pius AD 142-143. It ran for 37 miles from Bo’ness on the Forth to Old Kilpatrick on the Clyde and consisted of a ditch with a turf rampart behind it. Forts, fortlets and beacon platforms were placed along the wall. The line of the Antonine Wall is preserved by the open ground running East from this notice. Cared for by Historic Scotland Image
