Tour Scotland photograph of Rossie House by Forgandenny, Perthshire, Scotland. This Scottish house was originally built by the Oliphants in 1657.
The Oliphant surname has been the subject of much controversy regarding its origins; however, the accepted explanation is that the name is of Old French origin, introduced into England, and later, Scotland, after the Norman Conquest of 1066. The name was established early in Scotland, by a family of Norman origin who settled first in Northamptonshire and Hampshire, David Olifard, godson of David 1 of Scotland, being the first recorded namebearer; he was granted lands in Roxburghshire.

Tour Scotland photograph of the River Tummel near Pitlochry in Highland Perthshire, Scotland. Discharging from Loch Rannoch, it flows east to a point near the Falls of Tummel, where it bends to the South East, a direction which it maintains until it falls into the River Tay, just below Logierait, after a course of 58 miles from its source in Stob Ghabbar.

Tour Scotland photograph of Glendoick House in Glencarse, Perthshire, Scotland. This Scottish house is one of the loveliest examples of early Georgian architecture in Scotland. The manor and fortalice of Glendoick are on record in 1529, but it is not known whether the present house, which was built in about 1746, stands on or close to its site.
