History
A Roman fort of Flavian date located near modern Stirling, Scotland under and around the Doune Primary School. The Latin name "Voran", preserved in the Ravenna Cosmography, may be identifiable with this site. The fortifications seem to have been demolished and abandoned in the Roman era. Slight evidence (postholes) of possible prehistoric date have also been identified.
