Gavinburn Bus Depot is a site of archaeological significance on the Antonine Wall at Old Kilpatrick in Dunbartonshire, Scotland. The Antonine Wall, built around AD 142 under the Roman Emperor Antonius Pius, represents the northernmost frontier of the Roman Empire in Britain and stretched across the Central Belt of Scotland from the Firth of Forth to the Firth of Clyde. At this location, Roman fort structures and associated fortification elements survive beneath and around the modern bus depot, preserving evidence of military occupation and administration during the second century AD. The site forms part of the wider Antonine Wall complex, now designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and remains archaeologically valuable for understanding Roman frontier strategy and settlement patterns in northern Britain.
