The Romans did a lot for this country; aqueducts, sewers and underfloor heating for a start. They were also dab hands at locating good viewpoints and hiking up Croy Hill takes you to one such place. In Scotland’s Central Belt, this hill and its surroundings are littered with Roman construction and the Antonine Wall, travelling between the Firth of Forth and the Firth of Clyde, trundles over the top.
