Callendar House stands within one of Scotland’s richest Roman landscapes. The Antonine Wall crosses Callendar Park, making this an unusually convenient place to combine museum interpretation, surviving frontier archaeology and a family visit.
The Roman gallery introduces the Antonine Wall and the discoveries made across the Falkirk district. The museum is not large, but it gives useful context for Rough Castle, Mumrills, Camelon and the Wall’s route through the modern town.
