Tour Scotland 4K travel video, with Scottish fiddle music, of Ardoch Roman Fort an archaeological site just outside the village of Braco on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Perthshire. Located about 7 miles south of Crieff, at Ardoch, are grass covered earthworks which are the remains of a Roman fort and several marching camps which included a signal tower. Part of the Roman Gask Ridge, it is said to be one of the most complete Roman camps in Britain, and is one of the best preserved series of Roman military earthworks in the whole Empire. Ardoch was one of a chain of camps separated by one day marches in a generally North to South direction. Other Roman camps in this chain include Strageath, Inchtuthil, Battledykes, Stracathro, Raedykes. Ardoch was visited by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in 1842, although only Albert investigated the earthworks, Victoria preferred to remain in their carriage. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day
