Glenluce Roman camp is a temporary military installation located approximately 380 metres west of Corsehead in Wigtownshire, southwest Scotland. The camp dates to the Roman period of occupation in Scotland, likely associated with the campaigns of the late first or early second century AD. The site preserves the characteristic plan of a Roman auxiliary fort, with defensive ditches and ramparts that are still visible as earthwork features in the landscape. Its location in the south-western coastal region reflects the Roman strategic interest in controlling the Solway Firth approaches and subjugating the native Caledonians during the period of imperial expansion northwards.
