Tour Scotland short 4K Spring travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a Kilt and Sporran and walking by rough castle roman fort on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip near Fakirk, Britain, United Kingdom. Rough Castle is the best preserved and most visually impressive Roman fort along the Antonine Wall in Scotland. This ancient UNESCO World Heritage site offers an incredible glimpse into Roman frontier defense. Built around AD 142 under Emperor Antoninus Pius, it served as a northwestern frontline of the Roman Empire for only about 20 years before being abandoned. It housed approximately 500 soldiers of the Sixth Cohort of Nervii, an auxiliary infantry unit recruited from northeastern Gaul, modern day France. The site features the tallest surviving section of the turf rampart and an incredibly deep defensive ditch running in front of it. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. Find things to see and do in Scotland where you are always welcome. The date for astronomical Spring is 20th March, ending on 21st June
