Dist:0.2km<br/>When you struggle to find a parking space for a walk, remember in some places if there is a place off the road, it encourages vermin. If the road is quiet enough they will use that.

Dist:0.4km<br/>This was the route of the access road for soldiers defending the Antonine Wall. Built in the early 140s AD, the Antonine Wall was Rome's north west frontier, running 60Km from Bo'ness on the Forth in the east to Old Kilpatrick on the Clyde in the west. It was only defended for about 20 years before the Romans reckoned it was more trouble than it was worth!
