Medieval Abernethy
description: Abernethy is a village in Perth and Kinross, Scotland, situated 8 mi south-east of Perth. It has one of Scotland's two surviving Irish-style round towers. The round tower is approx. 22 metres high and has an internal diameter of 2.515 metres. The exterior diameter is 4.648 metres near the base, and 4.267 metres at the top. Today there is a Pictish carved stone at the base of the tower, but this is not the stone’s original location. (The stone was dug out of the foundations of a local house. The tower is thought to date from the eleventh century, but may incorporate the foundations of an earlier structure. The round tower is thought to relate to a Culdee monastery. We are not sure at what date the monastery was founded. [Source: https://canmore.org.uk/site/27914/abernethy-round-tower]

Bennachie Boundary Marker
description: The boundary markers seen on the hillside, originate after a Court action was finally settled in 1859, dividing the Commonty of Bennachie between nine local landowners. "Commonty" is land whose ownership is shared among more than one estate. Many people were allowed to take peat and turf from the commonty and to graze livestock there. As the individual boundaries of the landowners were not defined within the commonty, there was a widespread, but legally incorrect belief, that it was common land where anyone could build a house and farm the land. This belief led to the gradual development of the Bennachie Colony. However, the landowners saw this as an intrusion into their legal rights.

Leacach An Tigh Chloiche, North Uist
description: Unival, a small, roughly-built, square passage grave lies on an elevated plateau on the hill of the same name, and, as Beveridge noted, carries the Gaelic name, ‘Leacach an Tigh Chloiche’, or ‘place of slabs of the stone house’. Excavated by Sir Lindsay Scott during the 1930s, it was found to house a small slab-built cist about 0.5 metres high, in which was the skeleton of a young woman, together with the rib-bones of a younger person, who may have been buried earlier. Ian Armit noted that it appeared that burning charcoal had been tipped onto the skeleton a long time after its burial, suggesting visits to the tomb for ritual purposes other than burial. Amongst the numerous finds of local pottery, discovered by Scott, the rarest was an almost complete Grooved Ware bowl and fragments of a beaker. These were common to later Neolithic finds across the mainland, suggesting the tomb continued to be used for burials well into the Bronze Age.

West Bow

By the early nineteenth-century the properties in the West Bow had fallen on hard times, and in 1829 it was remarked that ‘few will regret their removal, to make room for modern improvements’. Only a few years later much of the West Bow was demolished to make way for the newly created Victoria Street.
