Kate: I am lucky enough to live right next to the Antonine Wall. Our local museum has put on a really good exhibition to get families into the Roman history surrounding our town. If anyone is near by (Glasgow/ Stirling/ Falkirk) I'd reccomend popping in!

The Antonine Wall: Beyond Boundaries exhibition at Cumbernauld Museum is family friendly and depicts real people who lived along the Antonine Wall.

Visit the exhibition, located in Cumbernauld Library, during library opening hours until Saturday 14 January 2023.

This may not be Roman, but it's certainly interesting... Now where did I put my mattock and sledgehammer...?
