King's Seat is a Iron Age fort situated in Perthshire, Scotland, dating to the later prehistoric period. The fort occupies a defensible hilltop position characteristic of Iron Age settlement in eastern Scotland. Like other forts of this period and region, it would have served as a focal point for community settlement and defence, reflecting the social organisation and territorial concerns of Iron Age populations in Tayside.
