Brig o' Turk

Brig o' Turk (Scottish Gaelic: Àird Cheannchnocain[2]) is a small rural village historically in Perthshire and today within the council area of Stirling, Scotland.

[3] Brig o' Turk also features a village hall which hosts many craft fairs, dances and other events, a small primary school (Trossachs Primary of 1875)[4] serving the village and the surrounding areas, a small post office (located in someone's house) and a pub-restaurant, called The Byre Inn, which is made to look like the cow barn attached to the large neighbouring house, Dundarroch.

The Bicycle Tree, located half a mile north of the village, is a local landmark and tourist attraction.

[7] In 1708, Brig o' Turk was the venue for a gathering of prominent Jacobite lairds in support of the expected invasion by James Stuart, the "Old Pretender".

In the event, the commander of the French fleet of 30 ships carrying James's 6,000-strong force withdrew rather than risk an action with the Royal Navy; however, the gathering later was used as evidence of treason against the participants.
