Scottish earthworks bids for world heritage status
A series of banks and ditches running from coast to coast across Scotland could soon be named as one of the most historically important sites in the world. They’re all that’s left of the Antonine Wall - the most northerly frontier of the Roman Empire – a feat of construction that’s been almost completely overshadowed by the far more famous Hadrian’s Wall to the south. Historians, however, say it’s just as significant and so there are high hopes of the Antonine Wall being named as a world heritage site. Jon Douglas has been to see it, accompanied by Geoff Bailey from Falkirk museum.
