Get Involved
Find out different ways you can get involved with the Antonine Wall and its surrounding communities.
The Wall in your community
The Antonine Wall was built to divide but today it brings people together. Find out examples of the different roles the Antonine Wall has played in the local communities along its length, from inspiring art and creative projects to bringing people together.
Antonine Wall comics
Antonine Wall comics were created by Magic Torch Comics working with children at schools along the length of the wall as part of the Rediscovering the Antonine Wall project. To view the 'Over the Wall' comic, click here.
Antonine Wall Anthology
As part of the Rediscovering the Antonine Wall project, the project team worked with the University of Glasgow to curate a collection of short stories based on the Wall. 'All Along the Wall: Contemporary Voices Explore the Roman Empire' contains written pieces from a wide range of community contributors. View a copy of the Anthology here.
Tilal
From November 2021 to October 2022, a project called ‘Tilal’ was developed. It allowed people to come together to transform the Antonine Wall into a community resource, and place of shared belonging. The name of the project comes from the Arabic word for hills or mounds, describing how much of the wall is visible today.
Through the project, the Tilal team co-developed creative programmes and events in collaboration with five communities with lived experience of navigating the UK immigration system. They worked together to form an exchange – connecting often-overlooked histories, that frequently but not exclusively related to migration, with present-day community interests and forms of expression.

Roman Sound Cloud
A Roman sound cloud was developed as part of the Roman Granary Garden at Bearsden Baptist Church. The garden sits on the former Roman fort, and through the sound cloud you can imagine day-to-day life at the fort. The sound installation was made by Black Goblin, along with members of the community at Bearsden Baptist Church in collaboration with the Rediscovering the Antonine Wall project.
