I've done a few videos myself on the Antonine Wall. It's a really interesting aspect of the Scottish landscape and it deserves to be more famous than it is.

The Scottish lowlands are not the part of Scotland, South of The Antonine Wall: they're the part between the Highlands and the Southern UPLANDS. Sorry but that just irritated me. Great photography. Personally not a big fan of the philosiphising platitudes at the end about walls dividing, controlling etc... There must have been something more interesting to say .....about the people who lived between the walls and what we know about them, for instance: what maybe made them different to the people who later became known as the Picts to the North. Or maybe you could have quoted Gildas writing in the 6th c. : "Quos iussit construire inter duo maria trans insulam murum, ut esset arcendis hostibus turba instructus terrori civibusque tutamini; qui vulgo irrationabili absque rectore factus non tam lapidus quam cespitibus non profuit."

Here we see History being "explained" in the context of the Present and modern narratives/ issues. This is a tried method of trying to make History "relevant" to Modern Times. Hence a modern 'refugee' is wheeled on to explain the importance of "belonging". The aerial shots are great and I love hearing Jim and Lawrence talking. Becca Jones is always great too.

No one had thought to recreate a short portion of the wall so that tourists and visitors could actually see what it looked like and how the northern wall was constructed. A reproduction of a milecastle would be great, too. I suppose there are limitations with funds, land, and government permission. No one knows what the Roman's named the wall. One possibility was that it was simply referred to as the North Wall, or, the Northern Wall.

A reconstruction of a short length of the wall was thought of but rejected for the reasons explained in the film.

So wonderfully shot, the girls walking in the foorsteps of past experts , and that fantastic running theme of the old car in both films. I'm walking there next year and it's going to be such a useful adjunct to the guide. Well done!! Monica

Urbicus was a native of Numidia (modern Algeria), and former governor of Lower Germany, who was sent to Britain as one of the first commissions of the emperor Antoninus Pius soon after he came to power in July 138AD And As governor of Britain from ad 138 or ad 139 to perhaps ad 144, he was responsible for the construction of the Antonine Wall in Scotland

Having missed out on the world premier at Bo'ness Hippodrome back in October 2022, it's so lovely to get the chance to see this beautiful film. This deserves to be seen by a wide audience. Well done to everyone involved. You showcased the beauty of the built and natural environment across the central belt. And the visuals around Aurelius and Silvanus were amazing. David, Lawrence and Jim are brilliant guides and commentators. Loved the reference back to the original old car.

I knew of the Hadrian wall and the further Roman expansion north. It is more interesting to hear about this project than I expected. Using “an old ditch” to unite people and develop an area. The emphasis on equal spending is perhaps indicating some internal challenges.
