Aerial image of Ardoch Roman Fort near Braco in Perthshire, Scotland. Its defensive ditches are among the best preserved of any Roman fort.

Ardoch was first built in the 1st century AD and was part of the Gask Ridge system, which was a series of forts, fortlets, and watchtowers built by the Romans to control and monitor the area.

Ardoch was probably garrisoned by the First Cohort of Spaniards. A tombstone with a Latin inscription was found reused in the fort in the 17th century and reads:

"Dis Manibus
Ammonius Da-
mionis (filius) (centurio) coh(ortis)
I Hispanorum
stipendiorum
XXVII heredes
f(aciendum) c(uraverunt)"

Translation:

"To the spirits of the departed: Ammonius, (son) of Damio, centurion of the First Cohort of Spaniards, of 27 years’ service, (lies here). His heirs had this made."

(Roman Inscriptions of Britain 2213).

The tombstone is currently in the Hunterian Museum in Glasgow.
