The National Lottery has awarded £1 million to Scotland’s most northerly Roman wall. The Antonine Wall is a UNESCO World Heritage site and will benefit from investment to preserve what remains for future generations and give an opportunity to explore the incredible Roman history. The Antonine Wall briefly marked the most northerly point of the Roman Empire. The project includes plans for five Roman play areas for children, 30 community designed projects – such as a Scouts’ big Roman camp out – and a Roman-inspired community garden.

Preserving the past: three ‘Roman’ soldiers walk the length of the Antonine Wall, a turf barrier between the Firths of Clyde and Forth.
