Activities

Photographic Survey (December 1962)

Photographic survey of buildings in Dunblane, Perthshire, by the Scottish National Buildings Record in 1962 including Glen Road dovecot, High Street and the Old Prison.

Publication Account (1997)

Historically, the most distinguished building on the High Street was Balhaldie House--the oldest fully inhabited town house in Dunblane, built c 1695 for Drummond of Balhaldie, who was the principal Jacobite agent in 1745 and is said to have entertained Bonnie Prince Charlie. The original building is the section from the projecting round tower towards Sinclair's Street, but little architectural detail survives. Earlier features, however, may survive hidden behind or within the later fabric of the building.

Information from ‘Historic Dunblane: The Archaeological Implications of Development’ (1997).
