Dunmore, a hill (1520 feet) in Crieff parish, Perthshire, flanking the left or E side of the Sma' Glen of Glenalmond, 5 miles S of Amulree. A ruined ancient fort surmounting it, about half a rood in extent, consists of strong stone bulwarks, in places double, and partly vitrified on the W side. Inaccessible on all sides except one, and there defended by a deep trench, 30 paces beyond the bulwarks, it is believed to belong to the ancient Caledonian times; and has, by popular tradition and by some credulous antiquaries, been regarded as a habitation of Fingal. See Clach-na-Ossian.
