Local history and heritage
From earliest times, Perthshire and Kinross-shire have
played a very important part in Scotland's history, resulting
in an area that is rich in social, economic and architectural
history. It has become a desirable place to both live in and to
visit, with residents and visitors wanting to discover more
about the area and people who lived here. If you would like to find
out about some of the local archaeological sites, if you would like
to research the history of a particular village or your own family,
or if you have an artefact you'd like to learn more about, then
you'll find lots of useful sources of information to help you
carry out your research here.
