Dalguise
Village
Dalguise,
is an interesting and pretty wee village in central Perth and
Kinross. It lies to the west of the River Tay, 5 miles (8 km)
northwest of Dunkeld. The Dalguise Estate was given to the church
of Dunkeld by William the Lyon and later fell into the hands
of the Stewart family. Dating from 1753 with later additions,
Dalguise House was rented for eleven summers between 1871 and
1881 by Rupert Potter, father of Beatrix Potter (1866-1943)
the author of children's books. The nearby Dalguise railway
viaduct on the Inverness line was built in 1861-63 to a design
by the engineer Joseph Mitchell. The Dalguise Village Hall has
regular events.
