Bothwellhaugh Roman Fort
Bothwellhaugh Roman Fort, Roman military settlement in Strathclyde Country Park, Scotland.
The fort features a quadrilateral structure with defensive walls, positioned near the junction of South Calder Water and Strathclyde Loch.
Established between 142-162 AD, the fort contained military facilities including a bath house that could accommodate twenty soldiers simultaneously.
Archaeological excavations revealed numerous artifacts, including pottery, drain covers, and tiles with paw prints, now displayed at Glasgow University's Hunterian Museum.
The archaeological site maintains wheelchair accessibility throughout its grounds and contains visible remnants of ancient Roman military architecture.
The fort's unusual rhomboid layout differs from typical Roman designs, with no two sides or angles matching and corners aligned to cardinal points.
