Pennymuir is a Roman camp complex located in Roxburghshire in the Scottish Borders. The site consists of multiple camps of different periods, reflecting the sustained Roman military presence in the region during the first and second centuries AD. The camps are among the best-preserved examples of Roman temporary marching camps in Scotland, their earthwork defences still visible in the landscape despite the passage of nearly two millennia. These camps represent the logistical infrastructure required for Roman military campaigns into Scotland, particularly during the Antonine period and the broader operations against the Caledonians.
