ARDOCH, parish, containing Braco and Greenloaning villages, Perthshire. Acres, 22,127. Pop. 1102. The surface adjoins the watershed between Strathallan and Strathearn, and is drained by the Knaik to Allan river. Ardoch House, and a Roman camp within that mansion's grounds, are chief features. The Roman camp is the best preserved and most notable in Great Britain ; has been the subject of much controversy as to its connection or non-connection with the battle of 'Mons Grampus,' comprises 3 oblongs of 420 by 375, of 1060 by 900, and of 2850 by 1590 feet ; underwent consider-able damage by the formation of General r ade s military roads, yet retains distinct features of its original conformation, and possesses additional interest in the exist-nce, for miles around it, of remains or traces of Caledonian forts or entrenchments. The churches are Established Iree, and United Presbyterian ; and there are 3 public schools for 215 scholars.
