Bar Hill Roman Fort With Music On History Visit To Campsie Fells Scotlland

Tour Scotland short 4K travel video clip, with Scottish music, of Bar Hill Roman Fort on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Campse Fells near Glasgow, Britain, United Kingdom. The Fort is located near the top of Bar Hill, in a strategic location looking north over the Kelvin Valley to the Campsie Fells. It was built as one of the forts housing troops manning the Antonine Wall, which was for a while the north-west frontier of a Roman Empire that stretched all the way to the Middle East.Bar Hill Roman Fort was unusual in that its north wall does not form part of the Antonine Wall itself. Instead, while the Antonine Wall follows a course a little way down the shoulder of the north side of Bar Hill, the fort is draped over the summit of the hill and built on its upper slopes. The Military Way passed between the fort and the wall. The largest visible building is the headquarters, placed on the south facing slope of the hill, presumably with an eye to maximising sunlight. But in many ways the most impressive building is the bathhouse. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
