Dullatur is a village (population 720 (est. 2012))[2] near Cumbernauld, Scotland.[3][4] Like Condorrat, Castlecary and Luggiebank, it predates the new town of Cumbernauld, and of those only Condorrat was officially included in the designated area.[5] Its name is anglicised from the Gaelic Dubh Leitir, which means "dark slope". The route of the Antonine Wall passes just to the north of Dullatur. Two Roman temporary marching camps[6] were located at Dullatur between the forts at Croy Hill and Westerwood.[7] The camps have been excavated several times by archaeologists following aerial photography and proposed housebuilding.[8] Both camps have now been built over, and no visible remains can be seen on the ground today.[9] Digital reconstructions of the larger[10] and the smaller[11] of the camps have been created. When building the nearby Forth and Clyde Canal in the 18th century a number of finds were made in Dullatur Bog. Thomas Watson recorded: "a number of swords, pistols, and other weapons were dug out; also the bodies of men and horses, and what seems somewhat marvellous, a trooper, completely armed, and seated on his horse, in the exact posture in which he had perished."[12] It was supposed that the man was escaping the Battle of Kilsyth which is due north of Dullatur Bog.[13]
