Auchterarder is a town in Perth and Kinross. The Gleneagles Hotel is not far from it. We had a walk round the town after we had moved on from Tullibardine Chapel.

About halfway along the 1½ mile High Street is a pair of War Memorial Gates. These are dedicated to the dead of World War 2. Looking through the gates Auchterarder’s Great War Memorial can be seen :-

The Second World War names are displayed on the right hand gate:-

Tullibardine Chapel

We travelled on from Comrie by way of a misty Loch Earn:-

On the way back via Innerpeffray Chapel we then sought out Tullibardine Chapel, a property in Perth and Kinross in the care of Historic Scotland. It’s located slightly northwest of Auchterarder:-
