Torwood Roman camp is a temporary military enclosure located near Lochside in Dumfriesshire, Scotland. The site dates to the Roman period of occupation in Scotland, likely associated with campaigns during the first or second century AD when Roman forces moved through the region. The camp survives as an earthwork, with the characteristic defensive ditches and ramparts typical of Roman marching camps that were constructed during military operations. Such camps served as temporary bases for Roman troops during their movement through and occupation of northern Britain, and their study provides valuable evidence for Roman military strategy and logistics in Scotland.
