Overview

History & significance

Millearnwood Roman Road is a Roman road situated approximately 450 metres north of Raith in Perthshire, Scotland. The road represents part of the Roman communications network established during the occupation of northern Britain, likely dating to the period of Roman military campaigns in Scotland during the first and second centuries AD. The surviving section exhibits the characteristic metalled construction typical of Roman roads, with evidence of the deliberate laying and compacting of stone and gravel surfaces. This stretch of road contributes to our understanding of Roman strategic infrastructure in the Scottish Lowlands and the extent of Roman territorial control and movement through the region.
