There are some fantastic stone circles in Perthshire, including Clachan an Diridh (just off the Rob Roy Way near Pitlochry), Croft Moraig (between Aberfeldy and Kenmore) and above the Falls of Acharn. The hill fort on Drummond Hill near Kenmore - the Caisteal Mac Tuathal - occupies an impressive position, as does the hill fort at Castle Dow above Ballintaggart.

Pastmap, developed by Historic Environment Scotland, is a detailed map-based website. The best map layers for places like stone circles, hill forts and ruined shielings are "Canmore", "Scheduled Monuments" and "Historic Environment Record". Select these and zoom in on Perthshire and get clicking!

The Perth & Kinross Heritage Trust website has information about various historic places and describes their project work in good detail:

Crannogs are a type of ancient, man-made loch dwelling found in Scotland and Ireland. The Scottish Crannog Centre is located on the shore of Loch Tay just outside Kenmore.

Blair Castle, in the lovely village of Blair Atholl, is a major attraction. The castle is home to the UK's only private army, the Atholl Highlanders.  A ruined castle, the Caisteal Dubh in Moulin, is on one of our guided walks and has a tragic story to tell about the Great Plague......

Drove roads are historic routes through the hills, used by cattle drovers to reach the main markets in central Scotland in days gone by. Famous drove roads in Perthshire and Angus include the Road to the Isles, Drumochter to Annat, Minigaig, Gaick, Trinafour, Monega and Jock's Road routes. There are many other old routes, such as coffin roads. All such routes have a strong sense of place and history.
