Inchture
To contact your local group by email, visit the Contact us pageThe village of Inchture lies surrounded by rich farmland between the Sidlaw hills and the Tay estuary. As its name suggests, it probably once stood on higher ground in the days when the River Tay allegedly ran on the north side of the Carse of Gowrie.
The village was rebuilt along the line of a new toll road in the early 19th century. There are still many traditional red stone buildings in the picturesque centre.
The Gothic church, which dates from 1834, is large for such a small village.
Inchture also boasts a grove of magnificent redwoods next to the school. To find out more about the history of these giant trees, click here.
