The Roman army in Perthshire: a lecture by Jim Walker

Approximately 60 minutes · Full-length talk

Jim Walker explores the forts, camps and smaller military installations of Roman Perthshire.

What this video covers

In this Breadalbane Heritage Society talk, Jim Walker considers camps, forts, fortlets and signal stations established and used during Roman campaigns in Perthshire. The subject brings different types of military installation together within one regional landscape.

The Society’s account identifies first- and second-century campaigns as the talk’s focus. This makes it a useful companion to maps of Roman sites and to the individual fort guides, which allow viewers to follow up particular places.

This version contains the talk only. A separate version, linked through the Society’s event report, adds a question-and-answer session. The organiser describes the two recordings as approximately 60 and 90 minutes respectively.

Watch the lecture for a sustained regional overview, then use the related reading to explore the Gask Ridge and the wider distribution of Roman military remains. The approximate running time here comes from the organiser’s own description rather than a verified player duration.
