PREFACE Since ever dwellers on the Continent were first able to navigate the ocean, the isles of Great Britain and Ireland must have been objects which excited their supreme interest. To this we owe in part the com- ing of our own early ancestors to these isles. But while we have histories which inform us of the several historic invasions, they all seem to me to belittle far too much the influence of the Norse Invasions in particular. This error I would fain correct, so far as regards Celtic Scotland.

The village has an idyllic position on the banks of the River Tay and is characterised by its traditional stone houses. Strathtay has a friendly community with a village shop and post office at its heart. A bridge over the Tay links Strathtay to Grandtully where there is now a choice of places to eat out. Aberfeldy is the nearest main centre and has all essential services, including a medical centre. The town has a great selection of independent shops, cafés and restaurants, not to mention the Birks cinema which as well as screening mainstream films has a popular bar and café and hosts a variety of community activities. Breadalbane Academy provides nursery to sixth year secondary education. Dallraoich could hardly be better placed for enjoying the outdoors. In addition to a 9 hole golf course at Strathtay, there are golf courses at Aberfeldy, Kenmore, Taymouth Castle, Dunkeld and Pitlochry. Various water sports take place on nearby lochs and rivers, with the rapids at Grandtully being popular for canoeing and rafting.

  • Highland Perthshire Through the Archive
    A Guide to the History and Culture of Highland Perthshire through the Archive Dick Fotheringham, bell ringer in the Aberfeldy area, c1930s Ref: MS316/31 Perth & Kinross Council Archive 1 Foreword While I have been a member of the Friends of Perth & Kinross Council Archive for some time I only became a Committee member last year. Thus my being asked to become the chair of the Committee at this year’s AGM was, from my perspective, rather rapid promotion! Now I have been given the great honour of writing this foreword to the Friends’ latest publication, a survey and guide to sources of information on every aspect of life in Highland Perthshire as encapsulated in the collections of the Archive. In it you will find a comprehensive overview of the huge range of collections relevant to this topic including history, genealogy, industry, settlements, estates and anything else you may be interested in. Some of the material is “official”, like local authority documents, police and Justice of the Peace records. However, there is also guidance on exploring community-based collections put together by local people who were determined their “story” would live on and be accessible to anyone who was interested. There are also many illustrations of documents of different types with informative notes beside each one. These are, of course, merely a glimpse of the rich and varied sources which exist and can be explored with the help of the staff of the Archive. A feature which we hope will be seen as innovative, and was the brainchild of the authors, is a specimen analysis of a document which is designed to show you what you can learn from it whether you are a family, house or local historian, or just interested in maximising the information that a document can provide.

  • Circular Homesteads in North West Perthshire
    Circular Homesteads in North West Perthshire D.B. Taylor Abertay Historical Society Publication No.29 Dundee 1990 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Many of those who began the groundwork of this investigation were or became members of the Abertay Historical Society, the Perthshire Society for Natural Science, the then Breadalbane Archaeological Society or the Crieff Society. They are too many to be mentioned individually but their contribution was invaluable and is gladly acknowledged. There are others whose names are unavoidably unknown to the author; they were mainly those who took photographs and drew plans at Queen's View. Apologies and sincere thanks are extended to them. Those who contributed from their specialist knowledge have been mentioned in the text and are also sincerely thanked. Grants towards expenses were received from the Society of Antiquaries, Scotland, for Litigan and from the Forestry Commission for Queen's View. These are gratefully acknowledged. Appreciation is also due to the Forestry Commission, especially the staff of the former Tummel District, for their co-operation and active assistance at Queen's View and for making it possible to visit sites in a number of other plantations. Miss Jean Comrie was present throughout operations at Queen's View except for the last year and, since she worked closely with Dr. Stewart, her clarification of doubtful points in the diary of activities and discoveries was invaluable and greatly appreciated. Similarly, Miss Lisbeth Thorns, Dundee Museum, who drew the major plan, offered crucial explanation on detail when the report was being compiled and thanks are also extended to her. Dr. John Bannerman provided salutary guidance on language questions raised in the last section of the report.

  • Issue 12, 2003
    Issue No 12 NEWSLETTER Friends of Perth & Kinross Council Archive Honorary Presidents: Bob Scott, Provost of Perth & Kinross Council and Sir William Macpherson of Cluny and Blairgowrie Welcome to our autumn edition of the Friends’ Newsletter. Despite the summer holidays, work has continued on the archive projects; Perth Burgh Historical Files are now being listed, as are the records of St Andrews Episcopalian Church, Strathtay. The Perth Burial Registers database now contains nearly 3500 records, and we’re talking with the experts on the best means of searching the database when it is online. Unfortunately, Alex Porter has had to withdraw from working on the Name Authority File, although John Howat has kindly taken up the baton. Alex has done tremendous work on what is a very complex task, for which we sincerely thank him. We wish him the very best and good health and hope to see him again very soon. As you will see on the back cover, our next meeting is in January, when Margaret Laing, author of Close-up on Coupar Angus and Donald Abbott, author of A Ramble in Rait will be talking about their experiences as local historians. Everyone (and their guests) are very welcome to come and spend what I am sure will be an enjoyable and informative afternoon.. Another exciting announcement is that, with the help of the Library and Archive Services, the Friends of Perth & Kinross Council Archive have their own publication coming out in the next few weeks. Our Chairman, Donald Abbott, has, over the years, written extensively about various aspects of Pitroddie in the Carse of Gowrie.
