People have been living in Fortingall (Fartairchill in Gaelic) for thousands of years but the village we see today dates mainly from the nineteenth century. In 1885, Fortingall and the surrounding Glen Lyon estate was purchased by Sir Donald Currie, a shipping magnate from Greenock, who commissioned James MacLaren, and then Robert Dunn and William Watson to make their architectural visions a reality in this part of Highland Perthshire.
