Tour Scotland photograph of an old building on Thimble Row in Dunning, Perthshire, Scotland. Dunning is steeped in history from the earliest days. There was an Iron Age fort on Dun Knock (no visible remains) and a 1st century Roman camp at Kincladie, part of the rampart and ditch survive in Kincladie Wood. The former is the probable origin of the name Dunning, Old Irish dúnán. meaning, little fort. Legend tells that Saint Serf killed a dragon here, and there is a thorn tree planted in Jacobite times.
