The Trust has produced an extensive collection of interpretive leaflets and map-based guides over the years to increase awareness, understanding and appreciation of our historic environment. You can find a selection of our leaflets and maps digitised and available to download on this page. We hope these resources encourage you to get out and explore the rich and fascinating historic environment of Perth and Kinross.

King's Seat Hillfort
King’s Seat hillfort is situated on a prominent hilltop above an important bend in the River Tay at Dunkeld. The three seasons of fieldwork we undertook from 2018 unearthed an amazing selection of early historic artefacts and radio carbon dated features suggest that King’s Seat was an important centre of local power with influence over the trade and production of high status goods in the early historic/Pictish period (c.600-900 AD). Read more in our leaflet or head over to our dedicated King’s Seat Project page.
Kilmagadwood Early Bronze Age Cemetery
In 1946, a horse ploughing a field near the Scotlandwell to Kinnesswood road sank its hoof into a hollow and through the base of an upturned urn containing cremated human remains. Little did people know then that the urn was part of a large, 4000 year old Early Bronze Age cemetery. Read all about the discovery and our project in this specially produced leaflet.
Historic Graveyards
Historic churchyards have often been repositories of both sacred and secular life for centuries. Our two-year project, carried out from 2011-2013, had the aim of exploring the wealth of information held in the graveyards about places, events and people in Strathmore and the Carse of Gowrie. Find out more in our specially produced leaflets or head over to our dedicated Historic Churchyards Project page.
