Forteviot was the Pictish royal centre in the mid ninth century AD, and became the regional ceremonial centre for the Picts from as early as the eighth century. Forteviot was the seat of Cinaed mac Aipin ( Kenneth, son of Alpin ), who ruled Southern Pictland. Kenneth MacAlpin’s ancestors went on to rule the kingdom until the 11th century, overseeing areas such as modern day Angus, Fife and Perthshire, which formed the core of the Pictish lands. The Picts are well known in history for their artwork on large monumental sculptures, which were used as territorial markers, setting out the boundaries of Forteviot’s Pictish palace. John Inglis was born in 1762 in the manse at Forteviot the youngest son of Mary Bryce and her husband, Rev Harry Inglis, the local minister.
