Tour Scotland Autumn travel video of a road trip drive, with Scottish music, on ancestry visit to Kettins, Perthshire. Local history shows that in 1658 AD there was a chapel in the south side of the village. The lands called Abden of Kettins included the chapel, Over Coston and Greenbarns, South Corston and Greenburns, were transferred to one Alexander Campbell of Balgersho. There was also a transfer of East Townend of Kettins and Pitdownie in the Parish of Kettins to one George McKenzie in 1691 AD. The village had expanded, but had not been completely built up, and covered the area to Pitcur, Leys, Corston, Balgersho, Gask, Peattie, Baldinnie and Fauldleys. All the houses in the village were eventually owned by Hallyburton Estate and it is supposed that each occupier had a tap to their house if they could afford it, but by the late 1950’s there were still a few houses with no mains water supply. In the 1970’s the whole village was declared to be a Conservation Area under local government control in the hope of preventing massive alterations and preserve the village.
