Overview

History & significance

Cammoch is a deserted settlement in Perthshire, Scotland, representing a rural community that has left material traces across the landscape. The site contains evidence of habitation structures and field systems characteristic of medieval and early modern settlement patterns in the Scottish Highlands. Like many such settlements in this region, Cammoch was likely abandoned during the period of agricultural restructuring and social change that affected upland communities from the sixteenth century onwards. The remains visible today provide insight into the domestic and subsistence practices of ordinary people in pre-modern rural Scotland, though detailed archaeological investigation has been limited.
