Overview

History & significance

Campsie Linn is a grange site in Perthshire, Scotland, with the Historic Environment Scotland INSPIRE reference SM11143. Granges were agricultural estates operated by monastic institutions during the medieval period, typically managed as self-sufficient farming units. The site represents the physical infrastructure associated with such monastic landholding, situated within the Perthshire landscape where several religious communities held extensive properties during the medieval centuries. Documentary and archaeological evidence from the region indicates that granges of this type date primarily to the high and later medieval period, functioning as important economic centres that supported monastery economies through the management of arable and pastoral resources.
