#Eildon Hill North dusted with snow just days ago. The site of #Trimontium now quietly grazed by sheep —once home to a vast #Roman fort.
If you’ve walked the site recently, you may have noticed the interpretation boards gone…
Keep your eyes open — new ones are coming soon.

Crop marks reveal the #Roman fort of #Trimontium 🌾 Set beside the River Tweed and below the #Eildon Hills, it housed thousands at its height, including soldiers, civilians, women, and children. The site was first identified in the 19th century and excavated by James Curle between 1905 and 1910.

Happy #HobbitDay! The #Eildon Hills in the mist could pass for the #MistyMountains, while the rolling green #ScottishBorders dotted with sheep feel like the #Shire. One can almost imagine hobbits crossing old Roman roads at #Trimontium, pipes in hand & second breakfast packed! 🍃🧙
