The archaeological site just outside the village of Braco in Perthshire, Scotland, contains the remains of both a 1st Century AD Flavian and 2nd Century AD Antonine 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–south direction. Other Roman camps in this chain include Strageath, Inchtuthil, Battledykes, Stracathro and Raedykes.

Join History Hit presenter Tristan Hughes in this short documentary as he explores the fascinating history of Ardoch Roman Fort in Scotland. Featuring historians Rebecca Jones and Andrew Tibbs.
