Antonine Wall, Roman fortification in Scotland

The Antonine Wall, known to the Romans as Vallum Antonini, was a turf fortification on stone foundations, built by the Romans across what is now the Central Belt of Scotland.

Constructed around AD 142, the Antonine Wall was the northernmost frontier barrier of the Roman Empire.

The wall has left a lasting impact on the landscape and culture of Scotland, with many artifacts found along its path.

Today, the remains of the wall can be visited at various sites, including the Kinneil Estate, Polmont Woods, and Callendar Park.

Unlike other Roman walls, the Antonine Wall was made primarily of turf instead of stone.
