Scope and Content Fort and temporary camp at Bochastle, Perth and Kinross This Roman fort and temporary camp are at Bochastle, near Callander. The location of the fort is curious, as being on low ground by the junction of two rivers, it is prone to flooding. Indeed this does seem to have happened at least once in Roman times. This is an aerial view of the site. The fort can be seen as a rectangular cropmark in the centre of the image. The best preserved side is the W (left). Much of the NE part of the fort has been eroded by the river. The camp lies to the left of the fort. The site has been excavated several times, beginning in 1949. Many of the finds are now in the Hunterian Museum, University of Glasgow. The camp may have had two periods of use, and been reduced in size. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
