Dunnichen (Scots pronunciation: [dəˈnɪxən]; Scottish Gaelic: Dùn Eachain[1]) is a small village in Angus, Scotland, situated between Letham and Forfar.

[5] An early local tradition, related by Headrick in the Second Statistical Account, claimed that the site was the location of the Battle of Camlann, where King Arthur fought Mordred.

[8] In 1985, a festival based at nearby Letham Village Hall was organised by Robbie the Pict to commemorate the 1300th anniversary of the Battle of Dun Nechtain.

The gathering on the hill became the main attraction for the vast majority of attendees, with a number of large Sound Systems playing throughout the night.

While the bulk of the festival-goers stayed for the weekend, a core group of several hundred New Age Travellers occupied the hill for several weeks at a time.
