Pipe bowl

This clay tobacco pipe bowl was found at Inveravon Roman Fort in Stirlingshire. It dates from the 19th century.

The back of the bowl is marked 'TW'. This may be the pipe's name (e.g. The Worker) rather than the manufacturer's initials.

Clay pipes were originally shipped in from the Low Countries. The first Scottish-based manufacturer was William Banks, established in the Canongate by 1622. By the late 17th century there were pipe makers in Stirling and Glasgow and fewer imports.
