Fearnan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fearnan is a small crofting village on the north shore of Loch Tay in Perthshire, Scotland. The village lies at the junction of the road to Glen Lyon and the road between Kenmore and Killin that runs along the north side of the loch. The land around the village has at various times in history belonged to both the Robertsons of Struan and the Campbells The village is now a mix a Old crofts dating back up to 400 years old and new builds mainly from the 80's it is still a very lovely place. There is also a whole hidden village of crofts with just there foundations left just below the forestry of drummond hill, If you fancy a trek park at the village hall and walk up the field opposite clamber over the wall and walk right there is a road covered in ferns!! and walk up the hill and with a bit of searching you will find the remnants of the houses.
At the top of the road leading up from the lochside just as you pass quarry road a single lane road accessing the top of the village you will find twenty meteres onward on your left a small hollowed stone. This stone is the top of a font commemerating Saint Kieran with a small plaque on it and also gives its name to the old top of fearnan (dalchieran) from the gaelic.
the glen lyon road as mentioned before is actually a spur off the road to fortingall where you will find the oldest yew tree in europe well worth a visit. This road eventually leads on to main road to rannoch/tummel and Aberfeldy the other way by going round the back of drummond hill.
