Roman roads in Lanarkshire at a glance
Lanarkshire, in Scotland, has about 121 km of Roman road in the Itiner-e atlas, mapped as 15 segments. None of it is classed as certain: almost all of it is conjectured, so the line on the map is a best estimate of the course rather than a surveyed route. None of the roads here has a well-known name in the data, so the map shows unnamed Roman roads only. 5 Roman places (towns, forts, ports and stops) lie along the roads.
