Torwood Castle near Denny in the Falkirk council area. It was probably built in 1566 and today it remains remarkably complete, yet is surprisingly little-known and can be viewed externally only. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/den

The pits, each about 3 feet long, 2 feet wide and 6 feet deep, would have been filled by vertical stakes, sharpened to a point, waiting to impale anyone who stumbled into them. They're pretty much unqiue to the Roman presence in Scotland and highlight how threatened the Romans felt on this far northern edge of their empire.

There are a huge number of historical sites within easy striking distance of Glasgow, ranging from neolithic tombs to the site of the last siege of a castle in Britain (Stirling Castle in 1746). However, these are amongst my favourites. They're lilia, which are packs of large defensive pits dug by the Romans in front of Rough Castle Fort on the Antonine Wall around AD 140.
