Tour Scotland Autumn video of a morning drive to Burrelton, Perthshire, Scotland. Burrelton is located in the Parish of Cargill. The name of this parish is said to be of Celtic origin and to be derived from caer a village and cill a place of worship or burial. There are three villages in the parish at the present time; Burrelton, Woodside and Wolfhill. Burrelton is situated in the eastern part of the parish on the main road from Perth to Coupar Angus. It came into existence in 1812 when the process of converting the small crofts into large farms began in consequence of a steep rise in the value of land. Most of the crofters took advantage of a generous offer of feus by the laird of Stobhall, Peter Burrel, who had married the proprieter of the estate, Clementina Sara Drummond.
