Old Lawers Village is a deserted settlement and burial ground located 250 metres north-north-east of Lawers Pier in Perthshire, Scotland. The site represents the remains of a medieval settlement, with archaeological evidence indicating occupation during the medieval period. The settlement comprises structural remains visible as earthworks and stone foundations, along with an associated burial ground that served the community. The abandonment of Old Lawers reflects patterns of settlement shift common in Highland Perthshire, where population movement and changing land use led to the desertion of earlier villages during the early modern period.
