Tour Scotland Autumn Video Stream Quarrymill Perth Perthshire



Tour Scotland Autumn video of a burn, which is the Scots word for stream, at Quarrymill Woodland Park in Perth, Perthshire, Scotland. As the name suggests, there have been both quarries and mills at the Quarrymill Woodland Park site dating back as far as the 14th Century, although most of the known activity originates from much later. The Park itself was donated to the Trust by A K Bell in 1937. The earliest known records show a letter from Robert King of Scots to the monks of Scone Abbey requesting permission to use stone from their quarries at Kincarrathie and Balcormoc (now Quarrymill) for the Kirk of Perth and the bridges of Perth and the Earn. The letter is dated 4th July 1328, and is the oldest record of activity at the Quarrymill site.
