Muckhart is an historic highland cattle droving village dating from the 15th century. Rebuilt after being burnt by the Earl of Montrose in 1644, the oldest dated building is the inn of 1804 (above). Our report, recommending designation as a conservation area, used historic postcards alongside photographs taken from the same viewpoints to show how little the townscape had changed. We also used sketches to demonstrate typical features of importance in preserving the special character and appearance of the village.
