LOCATION

The Old Village of Lawers is located on the north shore of Loch Tay in the centre of Highland Perthshire. It is situated roughly equidistant between Killin, at the west end of the Loch, and Kenmore, at the east end. The area is diverse and beautiful, with mountains, moorland, farmland, lochs, rivers and woodland all on the doorstep. There is excellent walking nearby with 7 including (’s 10th highest and the highest mountain in the Central Highlands) immediately to the north of the property within the Ben Lawers National Nature Reserve. In Aberfeldy, is a newly refurbished cinema as well as the Aberfeldy Recreation Centre only 14 miles away. Pitlochry, also nearby, is a thriving town, with the Festival Theatre being one of its attractions. Pitlochry Railway Station has services to London in the south and Inverness in the north. Stalking and shooting are available nearby and water sports are available on Loch Tay, and . There is a golf course at Aberfeldy and Killin. The property is shown on the location and sale plans within these particulars and can be found on OS Sheet 1:50,000 Number 51. The entrance to the property is at Grid Reference NN 677 396, the nearest postcode is PH15 2PA and What3words is detective.richest.beefed.

ACCESS

Lawers village comprises a small collection of houses, a church and a hotel. It adjoins the A827, Killin to Kenmore road, from where a farm track leads down to the western end of the property, shown A1-A2 on the enclosed plan.

DESCRIPTION

The Old Village of Lawers – 1.34 Hectares / 3.31 Acres

The site comprises the ancient ruins of the Old Village of Lawers and is bounded to the east by Loch Tay. To the south and west, it is by bordered by grazing ground; to the north by the Lawers Burn.

There are ruins (Scheduled Ancient Monuments) at each end of the site and the open ground in between is the ‘in-field’ on which the villagers farmed.

The buildings at the western end of the site include the House of Lawers (the laird’s house) with its annexed byre and stable, which is said to stand on the site of an earlier house razed to the ground by the Marquis of Montrose in 1645. The house is of particular interest, having been the home of the Lady of Lawers, its last occupant.

The open ground, between the two Scheduled Ancient Monuments, runs down to Loch Tay where the owners have the right to launch a boat and can enjoy fishing for trout. This is a superb site for picknicking or camping with its wonderful views across the Loch to the south. In the western part of the property is Lawers Kirk (c.1669), which lies adjacent to an earlier structure.

The buildings at the eastern end include a mill and a kiln. The assembly of buildings here is powerfully evocative of an early modern settlement on the banks of the Loch and the edge of the stream, which powered the mill.

HISTORICAL NOTE

The 1841 Census suggests that there may have been 17 people living by the Loch in the “Old Village”. By 1891, there were only 7 people, all of whom lived in the Pier Master’s house. This house, which is probably out with the area being sold, was finally abandoned in 1926.

The Lady of Lawers

The Lady of Lawers is remembered for various prophecies, a number of which appear to have come true!

When she referred to ‘fire-coaches’ crossing the Drumochter Pass, she is said to have predicted the coming of the railway. She is alleged to have planted an ash tree at the northern end of the church, stating that when it grew to the height of the little spire, the church would fall. In fact, the church was so badly damaged in a thunderstorm, in which the ash tree perished, that it was never used again. “A ship driven by smoke will sink in Loch Tay with great loss of life” she said, long before the construction of steamships. More poetically, she said “A mill will be on every streamlet; a plough in every boy’s hand; the two sides of Loch Tay in kale gardens; the sheep’s skull will make the plough useless and the goose’s feathers drive their memories from men.”. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the site is said to be haunted to this day by a female; presumably the Lady!
