Quote:The Gask ridge appears to protect Fife did it not!?That's what the "Rome's First Frontier" brigade would like you to think. I'm not sure that it "protected" anything, except the convoys trundling up from Ardoch to Bertha and back.

Actually, that is exactly what I was thinking! As you say, I did read

I've been to ardoch, where exactly is Bertha?

Thanks. I was too fixated by the pin on the road! :oops:
To be fair though, calling it a fort seems stretching it a bit!
Looks more like a marching camp to be honest!
But that's just me!

What about the potential for forts at Thomshill, Easter Galcantray and Tarradale?
