Lyne is a Roman fort with associated annexes and fortlet located in Peeblesshire, Scottish Borders. The fort dates to the Roman occupation of Scotland, likely constructed during the Flavian period in the late first century AD as part of the military infrastructure advancing northward. The site comprises the main fort together with external annexes and a separate fortlet, features typical of Roman military establishments in this region.
