Antonine Wall Quotes

“The wall of Antoninus is now intirely demolished in many places, and the ground plowed where it stood: and, as the canal, which generally runs parallel to it, will no doubt tend to the improvement of adjacent fields, it is probable that, twenty years hence, few remains of it will be visible: The grounds still occupied by it will be more usefully employed; and, instead of those memorials of ambition and war, succeeding generations will behold green fields and plentiful harvests, the produce of peace and industry.”
― William Nimmo, A General History of Stirlingshire
