Montrose's Camp is a rectilinear earthwork located in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, that represents a military encampment of probable seventeenth-century date. The site comprises defensive banks and ditches arranged in a roughly rectangular configuration typical of temporary or semi-permanent military installations from the period of the English Civil Wars and subsequent campaigns in Scotland. The earthwork's physical preservation and formal layout suggest its construction during a period of significant military activity in the region, when such camps served as operational bases for armies moving through the northeast of Scotland. The site remains an important archaeological record of military engineering and strategic occupation during a turbulent period of Scottish history.
