Dundurn, Scotland

Dundurn is the site of a Pictish hillfort in what is now Strathearn in Perth and Kinross, Scotland.

The fort was situated on a hill with the River Earn to one side and the Allt Ghoinean burn to another.

Excavations have identified three stages of fortification between 500 and 800 AD.

[1][2] The fort at Dundurn (or Dún Duirn) is mentioned twice in the Annals of Ulster, firstly relating to a siege in 683 AD,[3] at which time it was held by King Bridei III,[4] and secondly as the location of the death of a King Giric (King Gregory) in 889 AD.

[5] It is a designated scheduled monument.
