The Summerston distance stone: a lecture by Louisa Campbell

36 minutes 18 seconds · Full-length talk

Louisa Campbell introduces the Summerston distance stone and its modern replica at Lambhill Stables.

What this video covers

This lecture from the Antonine Wall channel focuses on the Summerston distance stone. Dr Louisa Campbell of the University of Glasgow presents the subject, and the publisher also directs viewers to the replica at Lambhill Stables.

The recording offers an opportunity to spend time with one named monument rather than surveying the frontier as a whole. It is a useful companion to the site’s distance-slab guide and catalogue, where readers can place Summerston alongside other stones connected with the building of the Wall.

The available publisher description is brief, so this introduction does not attempt to list every argument or example in the lecture. When considering a replica, distinguish what survives on the original object from choices made in presenting it to a modern audience.
