- We went to do a hillfort tour of Dumyat ... twice. There was quite a bit of excitement. You'll have to watch the video to see what happened. :D Dumyat Hillfort is associated with the Maeatae tribe and is likely an Iron Age style hillfort. Despite no excavations being done, there is plenty to see, including remains of a double wall. After we were finished with the hillfort, we went up to the top of Dumyat Hill, where we were met with a viciously cold and strong wind. So we stuck around just long enough to take in the views. I hope you enjoy this little history lesson!

Thank you for doing this video, iam a local lad, and often wonder about this. The Maeate, were Romes thor in the side, wonderful to see this. So much history in our area The name Clackmannan, comes from the celtic sea God, stone of Mannu. Tacitus names the two tribes of Alba (Scotland) as the Caledonians, and the Maeate, The Ochil Hills were the frontier of their empire. Kenneth Macalpine defeated the picts, roughly where the uni is (the standing stones are still there commemrating the battle on the uni grounds) which created the kingdom of the Scots. Great video, well done.
I was up the hill last week and the hillfort had an archaeological dig. About 20 odd people working.
Some great info here that I didn't know. Love listening to non locals pronounce things though lol.
Nice ! 👌 My local hill, did it many times, but from Menstrie...keep the videos coming 👍
Thank you for sharing. Good thinking with the door!
In Stirling we pronounce it Dum-My-At
many thanks for this, I've been up Dumyat a couple of times recently, I knew there was a pictish fort, but never noticed it before, will check it out next time
Behind Stirling was the Fintry hills
Is there any information about the old ruins (buildings) and how old they are? From my own experiences there are a few old settlements around Dumyat.
I think you will find the history is more recent than most assume,
I believe these were places for celebration and procession rather than what they appear to be. The perimeters were too long to defend.
You went up the easy/ cheats way. You need to go from the bottom of Menstrie Village. It’s the harder way to go and better way.
