ituated in the far western corner of Strathearn, the village of St. Fillans
is twelve miles from Crieff and five from Comrie. The journey between Comrie
and St Fillans is widely regarded to be one of the most scenic and truly
beautiful routes in central Scotland.
Until the early 1800s St. Fillans was known as Port of Lochearn or Meikleport, at which time it was a sleepy clachan (or hamlet), comprising a few thatched cottages, a limekiln, a brewery and of course, a distillery! 
s with so many of Scotland's now tranquil and pictureque towns and villages,
there is a long and often bloody history to be told. St Fillans witnessed many
a scene worthy of retelling, particulary in relation to the Stewarts of
Ardvorlich. A few miles outside the village you will find Ardvorlich House
(associated with Sir Walter Scott's "The Legend of Montrose")
the home of the Stewarts since 1580.
