Dundurn

Dundurn is a hill fort near St Fillans at the eastern end of Loch Earn in Perthshire, Scotland. Excavations have shown that its summit was fortified in the early Middle Ages, and it is usually identified with the Dún Duirn recorded as besieged in 683 in the Irish annals. It was one of the principal strongholds of the Picts in Strathearn.
