Promotional material has been developed by all the Partners to the Management Plan as set out below.
Historic Scotland
Antonine Wall promotional materials have been developed as part of a suite of World Heritage Site (WHS) branded leaflets, postcards, pop up display boards, flags and fact sheets have been developed over the last few years, in English and foreign languages, as in the following table. Some formal publications have also been produced. Pages on the HS website in the WHS section allow downloads of information such as the fact sheets, while pages on the ‘visiting sites’ section provides background and access information. The Partnership website www.antoninewall.org provides lots of background information and some detail on visiting the Wall. Material on the Scottish Ten website and social media feeds highlights recent work on the Antonine Wall and promotes it for visitors.
