Findo Gask

Findo Gask is a small village in Perth and Kinross in Scotland, just off the main A9 road. It is in Strathearn. There are nearby remains associated with the Roman Road to the south and the Roman Frontier on the Gask Ridge. The area was associated with the family of Laurence Oliphant, and his granddaughter, the songwriter Lady Nairne, was born there. During the Second World War, units of the Polish Army were stationed at Findo Gask Airfield (now disused). The woodlands around Findo Gask are known to be excellent sites for the collection of truffles, particularly black truffles, and truffle hunters can often be observed there during certain seasons. Gask House was built here in 1801 designed by Richard Crichton a pupil of Robert Adam.
