Duntocher

The village of Duntocher in Dunbartonshire, Scotland has long been settled as evidenced by the ruins of parts of the Roman Antonine Wall, visible in the local Goldenhill Park. The stone and turf fortification was built by the Romans to mark the furthest and most northerly boundary of the Roman Empire; the Antonine Wall stretched between the Firth of Forth and the Firth of Clyde. Duntocher has grown and developed in more recent centuries around its cotton and corn mills that were driven by the Duntocher Burn.
