The start of this simple multi-cache is at the Bearsden Roman Bath-house, which has some impressive remains on show. There aren’t many urban sites where you can visit remains that are the best part of 2,000 years old. Sadly the main part that was the Bearsden fort has flats built on it.
The coordinates should take you to the bath-house where you need to gather some numbers to be used in the usual way - N55° 55.ABC' W04° 18.DEF’
A & B - from the plaque entitled The Soldiers’ Latrine and the years during which the archaeologists excavated the bath house, from 197A to 19B2
C & D – from the plaque entitled Frontiers of the Roman Empire and the years that the Antonine Wall formed the north-west frontier from AD 1C2 to 1D5
E - from the plaque entitled The Soldiers’ Latrine and the year before which the Romans left, AD 17E
F - from the plaque entitled The Regimental Bath-house, the number in the illustration key against the Boiler.
I love the purple sign that says no running, no diving, no bombing as if it’s a modern-day swimming pool!
Cura ut canis excrementum purges.
The cache is just over a kilometre away in a straight line so you could easily walk up to the New Kilpatrick Cemetery and ogle the houses on the way or you can drive up.
There are two large exposed sections of the stone base of the wall in the cemetery and the cache is hidden near one of them. The cache is NOT hidden in the stones of the wall base so there is no need to go down there.
