The
charters of the following abbeys contain a number of references
to roads in Perthshire.
Overview Map
For details see individual abbeys. Only
the roads mentioned in
charters are shown; others can be assumed such as Edinburgh
to Perth, Perth to Dunkeld, Perth to Dundee etc. The
Roman road crossed the Tay north of Perth and ran towards
the area of Kirriemuir. West of Perth, the road shown
is that from Inchaffray abbey. A charter for Scone abbey
mentions a road near Tibbermore which is very likely
to have been the Old Gallows Road but it is not clear
if there is any relation between them.
