063 | " Delvine or Inchtuthill 12 miles north of Perth, on a square area of 160 acres, steep on all sides, and elevated about 50 feet above the surrounding plain are traces of a Roman Camp, or Station about 500 yards square _ part of a Redoubt near the eastern point of the area on the top of a bank, and on the western part of the hill, a strong semcircular ford, fenced, on the east side by five ramparts of earth, and as many ditches, in the area are several tumuli, This seems to have been one of the stations or posts, which Agricolo established at the foot of the Grampians, but not the place where hr encamped before his engagement with Galgacus, Boetius says that the Picts had a town called Tulina on this elevated tract, which they deserted and burned on the approach of the Romans" Playfairs Statistical Account. " About a mile from the village of Spittalfield is Inchtuthel, where there are the remains of a Camp occupied by the Romans in the year 138. Here the Picts had a town, which must have been a place of great strength, and of which the vestiges may be discerned at the south west Corner. Boetius calls it Tuline or Tulina, and says that it was well fortified, but deserted and burned by the Picts on the approach of the Romans under Agricolo. The Romans availed themselves of the position, and placed their Camp on the north east border. It is 500 yards square. |
