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.

Note: Due to the nature of the arrangements for this week - several cars being used, people spread across a wide range of accommodation, and variable mountain weather - it is not practicable to plan a daily schedule of walks in advance. The walks for each day will therefore be decided on the morning at the meeting place, and will depend on weather conditions and availability of volunteer leaders. It is the responsibility of each individual to be at the 9.15 a.m. meeting in order to ensure they have input into the decisions on which walks they would like to see take place. Suggested routes Because of the large potential walking area around Crianlarich, the following are only a small sample of the walks available in this area, and they can all be modified (shortened or lengthened), depending on the people in the party and the weather.
