Uphall Golf Club is just to the North of Houston House, on the West end of the village of Uphall, not far from the conjectured site of Strathbrock Castle.
In the 1980s, a Roman coin was found by the Brox Burn just to the South-west of the clubhouse, in the approximate location shown below:
The coin was an antoninianus ("Coin of Antonius"), a denomination first issued in the reign of Marcus Aurelius Antoninus in 214 AD. It was generally a largish coin of around 40% silver showing an emperor wearing a radiate crown, rather than the more common (and traditional) laurel wreath. The example from Uphall dated from the third century reign of Gordian III (Marcus Antonius Gordianus), who became emperor during turbulent times at the age of only 15 in 238 AD, and was killed only a few years later in 244. Generally, antoniniani were minted in Rome. Presumably, this coin would have found its way to Uphall from one of the local Roman forts, either at Cramond, Kinneil, or Castle Greg.
