were certainly not the handiwork of any casual visitors; and if they be not attributed to the British Celta, who must have inhabited this country for ages without coming in contact with a foreign enemy, but still with no want of occasion to arm "pro aris et focis," to whom shall we yield the palm of having laboured in their erection? Not surely to the Scots and Picts, the supposed descendants of the aboriginal inhabitants; their mode of warfare had little to do with walls and guarded camps; not to the Saxons-else we should find these forts much less general throughout the country; at no after-period, indeed, from the first invasion of the Romans until that time when the light of modern history breaks upon the scene, can we discover an age in which an entire similarity of arrangement, such as the Hill Forts exhibit, could have prevailed with a general influence among the people of North Britain.

Amongst the other native retreats of very remote antiquity, may perhaps be placed the Vitrified Forts, which seem closely to resemble many of the ordinary defensive inclosures; with this exception, that, in the former case, the exterior face of the ramparts have been melted into a solid mass, by the action of fire. Accident no doubt imparted to their builders this most enduring method of consolidating the irregular stone work of which these walls are composed, and the means adopted by them to effect their object may be easily conceived, when it is understood that they had discovered the vitrifying properties of more than one particular mineral. Having completed the labour of building up the rampart, they probably piled around it the trunks and branches of trees gathered from the surrounding forest, and, after setting them on fire, permitted the blazing element to finish the task. Some have doubted the fact of the vitrified forts having been the work of human hands, ascribing their origin to volcanic action; but this idea seems completely set at rest by referring to the actual appearance of these singular remains, where regular places of entrance may generally be seen; in some instances, the serial traverses which guarded them appear almost intact.

On the subject of the wall of Antoninus we find the following:

This great military work, consisted, in the first place, of an immense fosse or ditch, averaging about forty feet in width by some twenty in depth, which extended over hill and plain, in one unbroken line, from sea to sea. Behind this ditch, on its southern side, and within a few feet of its edge, was raised a rampart of intermingled stone and earth, strengthened by sods of turf; which measured, it is supposed, about twenty feet in height, and twenty-four in thickness at the base. This rampart or agger was surmounted with a parapet, behind which ran a level platform for the accommodation of its defenders. To the southward of the whole was situated the Military Way, a regular causeway road, about twenty feet wide, which kept by the course of the wall at irregular distances, approaching in some places to within a few yards, and in others receding to a considerable extent. Along the entire line, from West Kilpatrick to Carriden, there were established, it is believed, nineteen principal stations or forts; we cannot be quite certain of the number, because, towards the east end of the wall, the traces of their existence have, for two centuries at least, been either very indistinct or entirely obliterated. Calculating by those whose remains have been plainly perceptible, the mean distance between each may be stated at rather more than two English miles. Along these intervals were placed many smaller castella or watch towers, of which only some two or three could be observed in the year 1755. While the continuous rampart seems to have been little more than a well-formed earthen mound, it is probable that many, if not all of the stations, were either revetted with stone or entirely built of that material. In some places it would even appear that the vallum itself had been raised upon a stone foundation, probably in situations where the ground was low and marshy, and where it was necessary to form drains beneath the works, to prevent the accumulation of water on their interior side.... The actual length of the wall of Antoninus has given rise, like most antiquarian subjects, to no little controversy. According to Bede, it extended all the way from the ancient monastery of Abercorn to Dumbarton. A series of detached castella may very probably have connected its actual termini with both those points; but, from what is known to have been at any time visible of its remains, and from any discoveries made between the two seas, we cannot but conclude that the Vallum of Urbicus, as a continuous work, had ended on the one side at Carriden, near Borrowstoness, and on the other at West Kilpatrick. Upon this supposition the entire length of the work was about twenty-seven English miles.
