16 minutes 59 seconds · Explore further

Travel along the Antonine Wall through a filmed tour of its earthworks, forts, bathhouse and museum collections.

What this video covers

This independently produced tour visits surviving sections of the Antonine Wall and places where finds help explain it. The route includes Bearsden, Bar Hill, Croy Hill, Rough Castle and Kinneil, alongside museum collections in Glasgow and Edinburgh.

Its main value is visual: it helps connect names on a map with the remains visitors can see on the ground. Different stops show how unevenly the frontier survives, from substantial ditches and fort earthworks to traces surrounded by modern development.

Use the film to choose places to explore, then follow the visitor guide below for planning information. The creator notes that the exterior of Kelvingrove was used in error for the Hunterian Museum.
