The Antonine Wall, a world heritage site
David J Breeze

In July 2008, Scotland acquired its fifth World Heritage Site, the Antonine Wall. The Wall was, for a generation in the middle of the second century AD, the north-west frontier of the Roman Empire. Constructed of turf placed on a stone base, it stretched from the Forth to the Clyde. Along its line were forts and fortlets linked by a road, while unusual features included 'expansions' '“ possibly beacon-platforms '“ and small enclosures. Twenty camps used by the builders of the Wall are also known. These distinctive elements were cited in the Statement of Outstanding Universal Value approved by the World Heritage Committee.
