Abstract (en)

The publication completes the archaeological recording-programme whose object was to survey the entire eastern portion of Perth and Kinross District, Tayside Region. Presents a distillation of the descriptive material recorded in the course of the survey, viewing the archaeology as an element of the landscape in order to characterise and interpret the archaeology. Recorded evidence is discussed under major thematic headings and sub-headings, with additional sections setting the material in a wider context. The survey has been mainly concerned with archaeological evidence, and items included range from flint scatters of Mesolithic date to farmsteads abandoned in the 19th c. All sites and monuments that can be shown to date from before 1600 have been recorded, but thereafter the emphasis of the work has lain in the identification of the farmsteads and buildings of the pre-Improvement rural landscape.
