Aberdalgie

Aberdalgie (Gaelic: Obar Dheilgidh, 'Confluence of the Thorn-Stream') is a small village in the Scottish council area of Perth and Kinross.

It is 3 miles (5 kilometres) southwest of Perth, and lies between the B9112 road, to the north, and the River Earn, to the south.

[5] Prominent among them is Sir William Oliphant, the resolute Governor of Stirling Castle when it was defended against Edward I of England in 1304, during the Wars of Scottish Independence.

[3] Sir William's son Walter married Elizabeth, daughter of Robert I and sister of David II.

[7] Timber from Aberdalgie was harvested by Regent Arran and employed in 1547 during the war of the Rough Wooing for the stocks of guns and cannon used at the battle of Pinkie.
