A suburb in Greater Glasgow might not be the first place you would expect to find the remains of a Roman bathhouse.
Located approximately six miles out of the centre of Glasgow, the town of Bearsden dates back to the second century. It was in fact originally the site of a Roman fort constructed under Emperor Antoninus Pius.
Between the years 142 and 144, the Roman Empire erected a stone and turf fortification called the Antonine Wall across the central belt of Scotland. The wall, which ran through what is now known as Bearsden, formed the north-western frontier of the Empire.
