Torrvald is a post-medieval farmstead situated 450 metres north-west of Creagan Loisgte in Perthshire, Scotland. The settlement lies on Southern Highland Group bedrock, composed of psammite and pelite deposited during the Middle Cambrian period. This ancient geology underlying the site reflects the complex mountain-building processes that shaped the Scottish landscape hundreds of millions of years before human occupation.
The farmstead represents a typical rural settlement pattern from the post-medieval period, when dispersed agricultural communities occupied the Perthshire uplands. Such farmsteads were centres of subsistence farming and pastoral activity, adapted to the local terrain and climate. The site's location and form offer insight into how communities managed land use in this region during the centuries following the late sixteenth century.
Torrvald is protected by Historic Environment Scotland as a scheduled monument under reference SM9155, recognising its historical significance and archaeological value. The survival of its physical remains contributes to understanding post-medieval rural life and settlement patterns in the Central Highlands, where such farmsteads formed the backbone of local economies for several centuries.
