Dalginross is a Roman fort situated approximately 200 metres south of Penfillan in Perthshire, Scotland, occupying a strategically significant position within the Roman military infrastructure of Caledonia. The site comprises a fort with associated annexe and camp, constructed during the Roman occupation of northern Britain, likely in the late first or second century AD. The fort's physical remains, though substantially degraded, reflect the typical layout of Roman auxiliary fortifications, with the annexe and camp indicating expanded military operations or temporary garrison arrangements.
