Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Paisley, From the Roman Period Down to 1884, Vol. 1 of 2 Forts, garrisons, and stations were planted throughout the province to overawe the native tribes, and roads were constructed to give easy access to the chief centres of population. The main western highway traversing the country from Carlisle to the northern wall, passed Lockerbie, Moffat, Carstairs, Carluke, Wishaw, Motherwell, and Glasgow, ran thence along the right bank of the Clyde, and terminated at the wall of Antoninus near Old Kilpatrick. From Carstairs a branch road diverged into Ayrshire to the Camp at London Hill and from Carluke another led to the northern wall at Castlecary. Another road leading from Glasgow to the west passed Langside and Rosshill, and entered Paisley by way of Causeyside.
