Historical Comrie

Historical Comrie has over the years, grown as the village and Dalingross to the south combined. The river Lednock leads up to the Deil's Cauldron waterfall and above this the town is overlooked by a hilltop granite obelisk commemorating Henry Dundas, 1st Viscount Melville (1742-1811).

The village was once well known to have the highest incidence of minor earth tremors in Scotland and because of this it boasts the 'Earthquake House' which was built to monitor these earth tremors. The small house was built in 1869, and is located in a pasture about half a kilometre south of Ross bridge.

Situated on 90 acres of land at the entrance to Glen Artney, Cultybraggan POW Camp, has a broad history dating back to 1939 when it originally opened as No. 21 War Training Camp.

To the south of the village, over the bridge and turning right after half a mile is the road to Glen Artney. The Forest of Glen Artney, which lies between Glen Artney and Loch Earn, was once part of the royal deer forest of Strathearn supplying venison to the sovereigns of Scotland. The glen was immortalised in Sir Walter Scott's 'The Lady of the Lake'.
