Scope and Content In the foreground the straightened course of the Scotch-haugh Burn focusses the view towards the trees and buildings at Fordoun House, where a 19th-C tradition recalls a Roman camp, of which today no traces remain. It is reasonable to suppose that this would have formed part of the chain of marching camps stretching from Perth towards Stonehaven and beyond, perhaps as far as Burghead. Beyond Fordoun House and to its right, the irregular island of trees in a straw-coloured field obscures a medieval moated site, with possible Roman attribution in antiquarian accounts. To its right, a dark strip of woodland runs from left to right, beyond which was the WW2 Fordoun Airfield with its associated buildings. Title and Scope & Content contributed by North of Scotland Archaeological Society (2021).
