Glendevon

Glendevon is a village at the head of Glen Devon in central Perth and Kinross. It lies 2 miles north of the Castle Hill Reservoir Glendevon Castle was the stronghold of the Douglas family. There is an 18th-century humpback bridge across the River Devon close to Glendevon church. A footpath over the Ochil Hills connects with Dollar in Clackmannanshire.


Glen Devon, near Auchterarder, stretches south eastwards from the source of the River Devon to Yetts 0' Muckhart. The famous Gleneagles Hotel is in this region. Glenquey Reservoir, Glensherup Reservoir and the two manmade lochs known as the Frandy Reservoirs can be seen here. These were constructed by German P.O.Ws in the First World War to supply water to the towns of Dunfermline and Rosyth.
