If you wonder where George RR Martin got the idea for a wall keeping out the Picts^h^h^h^h^h Wildlings from invading the "civilized" lands to the south, this is where. There is also the Antonine wall, which was intended to supersede Hadrian's, which I happened to grow up a few hundred feet from. The ruins of a Roman bathhouse are just sitting there, next to regular houses, and almost no one ever visits them. Worth a brief stop if you happen to be nearby. https://www.antoninewall.org/visiting-the-wall/things-to-see-and-do/site-by-site/bearsden https://www.antoninewall.org/visiting-the-wall/things-to-see... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonine_Wall https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonine_Wall
