Kingoodie

Kingoodie (Scottish Gaelic: Ceann Gaothach or Ceann na Gaoithe "windy head(land)") is a hamlet about 4 miles (6.4 km) south west of Dundee, but in the region of Perth and Kinross, Scotland.

[1] Quarries close to Kingoodie supplied the town with building stone for a number of centuries.

This stone was important for the building of sea walls to protect the town from the tide and the harbour works.

[citation needed] Stone for the tennis court at Falkland Palace was quarried near Kingoodie in 1540 and shipped to Lindores, north of the palace on the River Tay.

[3] This is mentioned in Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland (1882–4) in the Drimmie entry.

Stone from the nearby quarries was formerly loaded onto barges in Kingoodie Bay
