Stroll along the frontier of the Roman Empire at the site of two Antonine Wall camps.

Two temporary camps have been identified on this site, about 400 metres south of the wall. The first originally covered an area of about 9 acres. It was probably used as a base for workers constructing the wall. 

No remains of the camps are visible today, but the ditch of the Antonine Wall remains well-preserved. 

The Dullatur camps were situated along the Antonine Wall, which was built across Scotland’s central belt from AD 140. The wall formed the north-western frontier of the Roman Empire. 

For more information, visit the the Antonine Wall website.

A grassy, uneven meadow bordered by autumn trees in shades of orange, yellow, and green. A few scattered bushes and a single bare tree stand in the foreground, while a cloudy sky looms overhead, creating a calm but moody atmosphere.
A narrow, grassy ditch winds through woodland at the Antonine Wall near Dullatur, Scotland. The scene is filled with autumn colours, with trees on both sides displaying green, yellow, and orange leaves. Moss-covered fallen branches lie across the slope in the foreground, and the ground is carpeted with brown and red leaves. The surrounding trees create a natural canopy, and the sloping banks of the ditch are uneven and textured with grass, roots, and patches of moss.
