Camelon è il sito di una serie di fortificazioni romane (Gask Ridge) costruite tra l'80 e l'83 d.C.[3] ed è stato proposto come il forte
più meridionale che separava le Highland dalle Lowlands.
Ci fanno collegamenti con Arthur's O'on e con Camelot, ma il nome "Camelon" potrebbe essere in neologismo antiquario coniato dopo il XV sec. Il nome originario era probabilmente Carmore o Carmure.[6][7] Il primo storico a menzionare Camelon[8] fu Hectore Boece nel 1522 nella sua Historia Gentis Scotorum[9]
