Points of Interest: Riding on the canal about 1/3rd of a mile after we cross Cadder Road We pass a small monument marking the position of Cadder Roman Fort
part of the Antonine Wall. We also cycle past Peel Park in Kirkintilloch, (just after we leave the Cowgate) where there was another Roman Fort from the Antonine Wall, nothing remains of the fort today, it having had a medieval castle mound built on it by the Comyn family.
