Fence on the route of the Antonine Wall
Between Milngavie and Bishopbriggs. The ditch that the fence follows through may well be the same ditch that the wall followed when built almost two millennia ago.

The Brasher Bridge
The title refers to the wooden footbridge, whose construction was partly funded by the Chris Brasher Trust, and not to the road bridge to which it runs parallel; the latter is Image
For an explanation of the pipes that can be seen alongside the footbridge, see Image, which is a view in the opposite direction.
In the distance, beyond and a little to the left of the far end of the footbridge, is Summerston Farm (on the OS maps, its name has been displaced to above East Millichen Farm). The course of the Antonine Wall runs across the field, and through the location of the farm, and there was also a Roman Fort at Balmuildy. However, I don't believe that there are any particularly visible remains in this area; traces, if any, must be fairly indistinct.

Katrine Aqueduct at Balmuildy Bridge
Balmuildy road bridge (A 879) is on the right, and 4 large bore pipes cross the River Kelvin carrying water from Loch Katrine to Glasgow. The bridge on the left is a pedestrian route for the Kelvin Walkway, and uses a central support for the aqueduct to provide stability. The remaining two aqueduct pipes are to the left.
