Forteviot

Forteviot (Scottish Gaelic: Fothair Tabhaicht) (Ordnance Survey grid reference NO052175) is a village in Strathearn, Perth and Kinross on the south bank of the River Earn between Dunning and Perth.

On 11 August 2009 archaeologists announced that they had discovered a royal tomb from the early Bronze Age at Forteviot.

Along with the remains of the ancient ruler were found burial treasures which include a bronze and gold dagger, a wooden bowl and a leather bag.

The palace formerly stood on Haly Hill, on the west side of the modern village, overlooking the Water of Mey.

Several pieces of early medieval sculpture are preserved in the parish church, which is dedicated to St Andrew.
