Aerial laser scan of the Roman fort site at Glenlochar in Dumfries & Galloway

Do you have similar scan for the fort in Bearsden?

The book at this link contains a lot of lidar imagery for the Antonine Wall and should cover the undeveloped sections by Bearsden https://www.archaeopress.com/Archaeopress/Products/9781803278018

Thank you I’m visiting from Australia this year and will use it to explore the line of the wall

Sadly the fort at Bearsden no longer exists. It’s underneath the flats which are next to the bathhouse. You might find this book interesting https://www.socantscot.org/news/new-open-access-e-book-bearsden-a-roman-fort-on-the-antonine-wall/

Thanks I’ve been to that site next to the bathhouse on my visit last year from Australia the site I’m referring to is Castle Hill off Duntocher Road

Castle Hill lidar should be in the latter book qlthough there’s nothing to see in the ground there and I don’t think anything comes up in the lidar
