This ancient Roman fort in Scotland dates back to the 2nd century AD and features a complex of ruins, including a bathhouse, barracks, and headquarters building. The fort's stone foundations and walls remain, giving visitors a glimpse into the lives of Roman soldiers stationed here nearly 2,000 years ago.
We parked in the nearby village and walked back to the place with the sign for the fort. The big gate was closed, but the pedestrian gate was open. Perhaps we missed a sign, but we didn't find anything other than a very large, albeit pretty meadow. We walked around for a bit to see if we could find the ruins, but we did not succeed. But once again, perhaps we missed something. Great walk through the meadow though.
*See attached photos for where best to park and where to go. * If you get a thrill from being in a location of which there is evidence that the Mighty Roman Empire was there then you are going to love looking at these ditches and mounds. Quite a big site and the furthest north I have felt such abuzz with that Roman hit. See attached photos for where best to park and where to go.
This is just an incredible site but there remains very little of the romans other than the earth works. Worth visiting if you happen to be in the area. The ditches are actually massive and is quite a large site. It would be really cool to see some kind of archeology or visitor centre near by though. No info and little or no parking but still worth a look
A contemplative experience. Well preserved grassy walls and trenches. Romans far from home in a place they could not maintain. Hubris.
Nice walk, great feeling to look around knowing the hands that shaped this scenery were trying to kill my ancestors
Best remains of a Roman fort ditch system in Britain, only comparable site is Whitley castle.
