Romans passed through in the 1st century AD, fortifying Kinclaven at the confluence of the River Isla and the River Tay. By 83 AD, local inhabitants likely observed the legendary Battle of Mons Graupius from Court Hill. The Haugh of Kercock, part of what is known as The Bloody Inches, was the site of a fierce battle between the Caledonians and the Danes. In 1235, Alexander II built a strategic stronghold here that played a pivotal role in Scotland’s turbulent history. In 1297, William Wallace and his men ambushed an English force, trapping them inside a castle before burning it down. During the 17th century, the lands here were owned by the Drummond family, Earls of Perth. The date for astronomical spring is Sunday 20th March 2022, ending on Tuesday 21st June, while by the meteorological calendar, spring will start on Tuesday 1st March.
