Overview

History & significance

Home Farm is an unenclosed settlement located 200 metres east-north-east of the main farm buildings in Perthshire. The site occupies bedrock of the Southern Highland Group, a geological formation dating from the Middle Cambrian period, comprising psammite and pelite deposits that produce the rolling, productive agricultural landscape characteristic of this part of Perthshire. Unenclosed settlements of this type typically date to the Bronze Age or Iron Age and represent a distinct form of settlement organisation where domestic structures were not surrounded by defensive or demarcating boundaries, suggesting a society with different concerns from later enclosed communities.

The settlement is protected under Historic Environment Scotland's Scheduled Monument designation reference SM7750. Such upland and marginal-land settlements across Perthshire often served pastoral communities whose economic strategy differed from the lowland enclosed farmsteads that would become dominant in later periods. The site's survival and scheduling reflect its importance in understanding prehistoric settlement patterns and land-use practices across the Southern Highlands region.
