Scope and Content Section of the Roman fort at Cramond, Edinburgh The Romans came to Cramond c.142 AD by order of the emperor Antoninus Pius to establish a supply fort to serve the Antonine Wall, a line of defence against the northern tribes which was built across Scotland from the Firth of Forth to the Clyde. The fort was rectangular with clay walls 7m thick with a stone facing. A road running from east to west divided it into workshops and a latrine to the north, and the garrison headquarters, granaries and the commander's house to the south. The Antonine Wall was a frontier barrier of turf between the Forth and Clyde, guarded by 19 forts. Its flanks were protected by forts along the south banks of both estuaries, those on the Forth being at Carriden, Cramond and Inveresk. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
