The Atholl Experience
The result of meticulous research into the Atholl area is now
available at Perth & Kinross Council Archive.
MS249 The Atholl Experience collection
John Kerr has devoted the last 45 years to exploring the glens
of Blair Atholl, Struan and Tenandry. Combined with
meticulous searches through sources in national and local
repositories, the information he found has now been collated, along
with 2700 photographs, into this extensive collection. Finally,
from the 13th century to the beginning of the 20th century,
histories of the parishes, farms and estates of Atholl can be
rediscovered.
The collection is logically divided into 42 volumes contained in
93 boxes in a mixture of subject and geographical areas. John's
wife, Patricia, undertook the task of transcribing everything onto
computer, as well as scanning all the photographs. The result of
their combined labours is a rich resource for anyone interested in
Atholl in particular and in Scottish history in
general.
