The ‘Stracathro Connection’
The identification of a complete series of Agricolan marching camps in Scotland was made possible by the discovery at Dalswinton in Nithsdale of a complex of overlapping encampments. Here, two superimposed forts, both of which have been firmly dated to the Flavian period, lie wholly within the larger of two temporary marching camps, one of the so-called ’63-acre’ series, which overlies a smaller camp having most distinctive gateways. This arrangement makes it certain that the large camp predates both of the forts, and as the defences of the larger camp overlie those of the smaller, this camp must be even earlier in date. The distinctive styling of the gateways in the smaller camp at Dalswinton were first observed in the defences of another camp at Stracathro by Dr. J.K. St. Joseph in 1955 and have since been identified at other sites in Scotland. On the strength of the evidence from Dalswinton it is reasonable to assume that these ‘Stracathro-type’ camps may all be dated to the early-Flavian period, thus to the campaigns of our ‘most eminent of men’, Gn. Julius Agricola.
Stracathro-type Camps
These camps are characterised by four gateways with distinctive defences, Dalswinton being firmly dated to the Flavian period (see above). They stretch from the Dalswinton camp in Dumfriesshire to the camp at Auchinhove in Grampian.
| Dalswinton south | only partly known |
| Castledykes north-west | c.40 acres; subdivided |
| Menteith | 23½ acres |
| Dalginross | 25 acres |
| Stracathro | 39 acres |
| Ythan Wells | 27+ acres |
| Auchinhove | 27+ acres |
Other Types of Temporary Camps in Scotland
Of course, Agricola was not the only Roman to lead a campaigning army into the wilds of Caledonia, other expeditions were conducted, mostly in lowland Scotland during the Antonine period, although the punitive campaigns of Severus and his sons Caracalla and Geta in the late-2nd and early-3rd centuries almost retraced the steps of Agricola into Angus, Kincardine, Aberdeen and Banff, all in the Grampian region. Several series of temporary camps have been identified in Scotland:
’30-Acre’ Camps
Each of these camps has four gateways with titulum outwork defences. They mostly occur along the south-eastern edge of the highlands from Dunblane in Central to Finavon in Tayside, with a lone example at Bonnytown in Fife and others suspected at Bellie on the northern Grampian coast and at Inveresk on the Firth of Forth. Dr. David J. Breeze assigns all these camps to the Agricolan campaigns, on what basis I am not certain.
| Inveresk? | ? |
| Dunblane #1 | 32¾ acres |
| Ardoch #2 (West) | 33½ acres |
| Dornock | 23¾ acres |
| Bonnytown | 35 acres? |
| Cardean | >33¼ acres |
| Finavon | 33½ acres |
| Bellie? | 24¾ acres |
Antonine Wall Labour Camps
These small camps of around four or five acres all lie in close proximity to the Antonine Wall. They most likely housed the working parties engaged in the Wall’s construction during the mid-2nd century.
| Muirhouses | >4¼ acres |
| Inveravon | ? acres |
| Kinglass Park | c.5¾ acres |
| Polmont | c.4¾ acres |
| Milnquarter | c.5½ acres |
| Tollpark | c.5¼ acres |
’63-Acre’ Camps
These camps all possess six gates defended by external tituli; the camp at Ardoch overlies an Antonine signal-station and therefore must belong to a later set of campaigns, probably Severan. These camps mostly occur on the edge of the highland zone in the eastern parts of Central, Tayside and Grampian, with only three examples occurring in lowland Scotland.
| Kirkpatrick? | c.63¼ acres |
| Castlecraig #1? | 60 acres? |
| Eskbank #1? | 63 acres? |
| Ardoch west | ? |
| Broomhill, Forteviot | ? |
| Carpow | 70 acres? |
| Longforgan | 63 acres? |
| Kirkbuddo | c.60 acres |
| Kinnell | 62¾ acres |
| Battledykes, Keithock | c.64¼ acres |
| Marcus | 64½ acres |
| Lunanhead | c.63 acres |
| Eassie | 63 acres? |
| Campmuir, Lintrose | c.53¼ acres? |
| Scone | 63 acres? |
| Innerpeffray west | 67½ acres |
| Ardoch | ? |
| Auchermuchty | 59½ acres |
‘120-Acre’ Camps
These large camps, again, have six gateways with external tituli defences. They occur in an arc stretching along the edge of the Highlands from Ardoch in Tayside to Muiryfold near the north Grampian coast.
| Ardoch east | c.96 acres |
| Innerpeffray east | c.100 acres |
| Grassy Walls | c.103 acres |
| Cardean | >122 acres |
| Battledykes, Oathlaw | c.134 acres |
| Balmakewan | 120 acres? |
| Kair House | >92 acres |
| Raedykes | c.110 acres |
| Normandykes | >106^frac12; acres |
| Kintore | c.110 acres |
| Ythan Wells | 111 acres |
| Muiryfold | >101 acres? |
‘165-Acre’ Camps
These very large camps also have six gates defended by external tituli and mark the passage of almost the entire Roman army of Britain through the lowlands of Scotland, probably during the Severan campaigns.
| Newstead #3 | >151 acres |
| St. Leonards | 164¾ acres |
| Channelkirk #1 | >129 acres |
| Pathhead #3 | c.137¾ acres |
| Inveresk #1 | c.120 acres? |
Groups of Marching Camps in Scotland
Also of interest are the following groups of camps, which possibly relate to successive campaigns of Severus and his son Caracalla.
| Ardoch 120-acre and 63-acre camps overlap |
| Innerpeffray 120 and 63-acre camp lie side-by-side |
| Scone 120 and 63 acre camp side-by-side |
| Cardean 120-acre camp 3 miles from 63 acre camp Eassie |
| Oathlaw 120-acre camp 3¼ miles from 63-acre camp Marcus |
| Balmakewan 120-acre camp 3¼ miles from 63-acre camp Keithock |
Other Marching Camps in Scotland
It should be noted that the Scottish camps categorized above are mostly due to the work of Prof. J.K. St. Joseph in the 1960’s and 1970’s, and they represent only a fraction of the total number of sites, many of which vary widely both in size and layout and may only be dated on an individual basis.
