Acct. [Statistical Account] Mr. Buchanan, Merchant Callander John Buchanan, Easter Gartchonzie 123 A small but tolerably high hill on the farm of Taradoun. On its summit is a very entire fortification which is defended on the N. [North] & N.W. [North West] and S.W. [South West] sides by three tiers of ramparts or mounds, and on the east by the natural face of the hill which is inaccessible, rough, and rugged with outcropping rocks. Concerning it there are no traditions in the locality farther than the Authorities attribute it to the Roman period. But its shape and form is more in keeping with the ancient British fortifications. In the centre of it, a well is visible which is nearly filled. "About a mile west of Callander there remains of a fortification on the top of a hill called Dun bo chaistel, the hill of the Castle. This must have been a place of considerable strength; The face of the hill is perpendicular rising to the height of about ? and quite inaccessible on the south. The Gateway and three tiers of ditches and mounds are distinct upon the top. The mounds are strengthened with large stones, and within was a sunk well, which has been filled up as cattle were liable to fall into it. In the plain of Bochastle and in the immediate vicinity of this fortification, is an Artificial bank of earth and stone, which perhaps was erected for the purpose of reducing this fort, but we have no authentic record on this subject."

OS1/25/12/37 ROMAN CAMP [camp] Roman Camp Mr James Dixon Mr. George Ferguson Mr Robert Campbell 124 There is a remarkable object, situated at the east end of the Village of Callander, and on the north bank of the River Teith. It consists of a bank of earth, of considerable length, and in some parts sloping gently, on either side, from the summit. It is supposed by some, that the Romans encamped in the enclosure between the bank and the river. Others again, maintain that this feature was caused by the river having altered its course - which indeed seems to be the correct hypothesis.
OS1/25/12/37 ROMAN CAMP [house] Roman Camp Mr James Dixon Mr George Fergusson Mr Robert Campbell Valuation Roll for 1857-8 124 A dwelling-house, two storeys high, with offices, one storey, the whole slated, and in good repair. Property of the Right Hon. [Honourable] Lord & Lady Willoughby, aforesaid. This house is situated at the west end of what's called the "Roman Camp", from which it derives its name. This house is let during the Summer months to visitors, unoccupied at present.
OS1/25/12/37 [Page] 37 County of Perth -- Parish of Callander [Below Roman Camp:] Not to be shewn as a Camp on plan. [Initialled] F.E.P. Capt. R.E. [Captain Royal Engineers] Note. This consists of an extensive and very irregularly shaped bank, about 12 feet high, a chain broad at the base and half a chain at the top. Although it is considered by the vulgar as a Roman Camp there is not the least evidence to support the assumption, and the intelligent people of the neighbourhood discard it. It is not noticed in Roy's Roman Antiquities, not does it bear the usual shape of Roman Camps; and as the ground is perfectly level on each side there would be no reason for the Romans, if they erected it, departing from their usual rectangular camps; besides there is no place in the neighbourhood showing sufficient traces of an excavation to support the theory of it being an artificial fortification, Roman or Pictish. J. B. Hamilton Esqr. of Leny states that, from excavations made in it, it is found to be a bank of gravel, such as might have been found in past times by the motion of the adjoining river and this seems to be the proper conclusion to arrive at respecting it.
