Talk:Gask Ridge

Untitled
A map would be useful. Bastie 01:57, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

A wall?
"Although the Gask Ridge was not a continuous wall" - it wasn't any kind of wall, the article says: "The Gask Ridge consisted of a series of forts and fortlets with signalling towers" - presumably the signalling towers were within the forts and fortlets?

There seems to be a lot of detail about what was NOT the Gask Ridge in this part of Scotland, and very little about the system itself. Why was it called the "Gask Ridge"?

There's a reference about halfway down the page to "The Gask Road" but the article doesn't say what this is, nor its relationship to the forts and signalling towers. Rambler24 (talk) 00:39, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

Proposed merge with Glenblocker fort
Though both have good features the Gask Ridge article has far superior content, maps and referencing covering a synonymous subject. PatHadley (talk) 00:31, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

-- I'm pro merge. Having a much improved Gask Ridge system page is on my list of things to do anyway. The glenblockers only exist as short-lived camps during the flavian, antonine (partly), and severan campaigns anyway and were created as part of the Gask Ridge System. Go for it says I.

-- Pro merge. Having Glenblocker fort as a distinct article puts undue emphasis on the theory that they operated independently of the Gask Ridge system, which now seems dubious.--Wcoole (talk) 17:24, 25 September 2014 (UTC) ✅

glenblocker
May I suggest it would be better to render this term as 'glen blocker' as per the http://www.theromangaskproject.org/?page_id=314?

-"although the more northerly forts are often called “glen blockers”" - "the so-called glen blocking forts"

It is the more correct English usage and also avoids distracting by confusion, in the context, with a notional Scottish place name.
