Allt Dhuin Croisg peat stores is a peat store located in Perthshire, Scotland. Peat stores were simple structures built to preserve cut peat, protecting it from weather and allowing controlled drying before use as fuel. The monument stands on bedrock belonging to the Argyll Group, metamorphic rocks of Neoproterozoic age comprising marble and meta-limestone. This ancient geology underlies much of the surrounding landscape, with peat having accumulated thickly across the region over millennia. The site's location reflects the historical importance of peat extraction in the Scottish Highlands, where such stores formed part of essential domestic and agricultural fuel management. The monument is protected by Historic Environment Scotland as a scheduled monument under reference SM10720, recognising its significance as evidence of traditional land use and settlement practices in the Perthshire hills.
