Ardunie
Gask Ridge Signal Station
This watch-tower or signal station was discovered by Prof. O.G.S. Crawford on 1st June 1937. The central platform is 39 feet in diameter and lies to the immediate south of the road. This watch-tower along with others spaced almost uniformly along the Roman military road into the north-east formed an early Roman frontier along the Gask Ridge in Tayside.
