Lake of Menteith is a Roman fort and camp complex located in Perthshire, Scotland, situated on the shores of the Lake of Menteith in the Trossachs region. The site comprises archaeological remains dating to the Roman period, representing part of Rome's military infrastructure during its campaigns in Scotland, particularly during the later second century AD when the Romans advanced northward under the Antonine Wall expansion. The fort's strategic location reflects Roman interest in controlling routes through central Scotland, though substantial visible structures have not survived to the present day. Archaeological investigation has identified camp ramparts and associated features that contribute to understanding Roman military occupation and frontier management in North Britain.
