Human activity at Camelon pre-dates the Romans, as Bronze Age items have been recovered from graves in the area. Camelon is the site of a series of Roman fortifications built between 80 and 83 AD. Camelon has been suggested as the southern fort of the Roman Gask Ridge separating the Highlands from the Lowlands. The Roman fort was under a mile north of the Antonine Wall. A Roman altar was found at Bogton Farm under a kilometre west of the fort. A Samian ware platter, possibly also associated with the site was found, and can now be viewed at the Hunterian Museum, Glasgow. from west to east: Bishopton, Old Kilpatrick, Duntocher, Cleddans, Castlehill, Bearsden, Summerston, Balmuildy, Wilderness…
