History of Bo'ness
Bo’ness has important historical links to the Roman period and marks the eastern extent of the Antonine Wall which stretched from Bo’ness to Old Kilpatrick on the west coast of Scotland. The Antonine Wall was named as an extension to the Frontiers of the Roman Empire World Heritage Site by UNESCO in July 2007. A Roman fortlet can still be seen at Kinneil Estate.
