This series provides an introduction to the archaeological
heritage of Scotland, detailing the story of one part of the

on day excursions. This volume details skilfully carved Pictish
cross-slabs, great abbeys and castles, and the imposing cathedrals

area between Blair Atholl, Kenmore and Dunkeld. The scenery

Atholl
and Gowrie: A Historical Guide (Birlinn Historical Guides)
This guide shows an archaeological range from neolithic cairns
to medieval palaces, from industrial workers' cottages to
Roman fortresses. A gazetteer combines with the narrative
to produce a history of North Perthshire on the boundary of
Highland and Lowland.
The
Perthshire Book
This collection of essays is the story of Perthshire, Scotland's
heartland, where many of her greatest treasures are to be
found. The district resonates with folklore and incident;
it was the birthplace of Rob Roy and also inspired some of
Scott's finest work.
Fife
and Perthshire: Including Kinross (Pevensey Guide S.)
This guide covers a varied landscape area that is accessible
to the highly populated Central Lowlands of Scotland, including
the great cities of Glasgow and Edinburgh. Human endeavour,
coupled with a proud colourful heritage, is evident everywhere,
in the pretty and historic coastal towns such as St Andrews,
in the rolling Lomond Hills and scenic Loch Leven, and, moving
further north towards the higher ground, in the mountainous
areas around Pitlochry, where the autumn colours have to be
seen to be believed. Visits to the area are addictive, causing
many to return again and again to the ancient "kingdoms"
of Fife and Perth, legendary birthplace of the heartland of
Scotland, for further exploration and pleasure.
