History of Kenmore
The history of Kenmore village stretches back to the mid
1500's. There has been settlement in the area much longer than this as
witnessed by the many crannogs and stone circles in the area. Many of these are
several thousand years old. But the village itself is relatively new
(1540!). The original village was actually called Inchadney and was located
about 2 miles away on a ford crossing of the River Tay. The whole village was
moved lock stock and barrel to its new location when the Castle was
built.The original church stood close to where you will now find Rock Lodge. |
 The new settlement was built
as a "model" village by the Breadalbanes. Many of their policies were very
forward thinking. For example cottages were provided for local people free of
charge as long as they brought a skill to the area. Today you will find a
plaque on the wall of one of the cottages which was dedicated to the village
nurse.The Square has remained virtually unchanged since those days (except for cars!). As a result it has a character and charm which is almost unrivalled in Scotland |
