Rebecca Jones examines the form and development of Roman camps, including Bochastle near Callander.
What this video covers
This illustrated talk explores Roman camps across Scotland, with particular attention to Bochastle near Callander. Dr Rebecca Jones considers their form and development, offering viewers a way into a type of military site that can be much less immediately recognisable than a standing wall or excavated fort.
The recording belongs to the Callander’s Landscape winter lecture series. It is especially useful for readers interested in the relationship between a local archaeological site and the wider evidence for Roman activity across Scotland.
Allow time for a full lecture. The related guide to the inside of a marching camp provides a more accessible introduction to the terminology, while the maps offer a way to place the sites geographically.
The publisher dates the talk to 13 January 2020, although the upload appeared in 2021. As with any recorded research presentation, use it as an account of the evidence and interpretation presented at the time, alongside later discoveries where relevant.
