| Stormontfield is located in an area of outstanding natural beauty, tucked away in a small seclusion, on the eastern bank of the River Tay, some 4/5 miles north of Perth. There is evidence that this small area has been populated for thousands of years, an abundance of archaeological artefacts, stone circles, stone coffins, Roman roads etc., all bear witness to the passing of populations and generations of people through the ages. Curiously, the area doesn't appear to have changed very much, we have been spared of the spread of industrial development, housing booms, and redevelopment sprawls that have afflicted much of the rest of the country.
Contained within this site are the names of some of the residents and former residents, to whom we owe a debt of gratitude, who have quietly collected a wealth of historical information to pass on to future generations of this peaceful place
The local history of the area, in words and pictures, was traditionally stored and displayed in the Community Hall (formerly Stormontfield School), but the display, was steadily deteriorating and has now been removed. It was felt that a commitment to the electronic age was necessary, and vital, to preserve the knowledge for future generations, the information from the former display in the hall is on this site along with much more which has since been researched, and there are many wonderful stories and pictures sent by people who have lived here in the past, these stories are valuable to build up a picture of the way Stormontfield used to be. |
