Auchterarder Perthshire Scotland

The Auchterarder and Gleneagles area is steeped in history and during the last three weeks Archaeologists have found Bronze Age homes at the site of the new Golf Course and Hotel to be built beyond Gleneages. Charred remains of Bronze Age roundhouses at the site have been found. The nomadic people who lived there between 3000 and 5000 years ago burned the structures down before moving on to a new site. The Bronze Age remains could prove to be a feature of the new hotel complex. The find show that the area has been popular for housing for a long, long time. The historic remains will be presented to the Nationl Archives.
The Crieff and Strathearn area of Perthshire lies near the centre of mainland Scotland and includes the towns and villages of Auchterarder, Braco, Comrie, Crieff, Lochearnhead, Muthill and St Fillans.

Auchterarder is situated with the Ochil Hills and Gleneagles to the south and Strathearn to the north. The town is laid out with a long main street giving it the nickname of the Lang Toon .

Alexander II granted the canons of Inchaffray rights over Auchterarder in 1227. Edward I of England spent a night in Auchterarder Castle during his 1296 invasion of Scotland.
