Cammo Canal is a linear earthwork located in Midlothian, Scotland. The monument comprises a substantial ditch with associated banks, characteristic of early medieval defensive or boundary works. Dating evidence and scholarly interpretation suggest it may relate to territorial demarcation during the early medieval period, though the precise chronology and function of the feature remain subjects of archaeological study. The canal represents an important element of the landscape archaeology of the Lothian region and contributes to understanding of early settlement patterns and land use in southeastern Scotland.
