For Trail MTB explorers on an adventure.

Circa 1840s circular stone hut was erected to house 2 Native Americans employed by Sir William Stewart of Murthly Castle to look after his herd of buffalo he had imported from the USA.
Ref: portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB50775
Ref: 3D Model: skfb.ly/p9rxZ - saves the walk from track to hut.

Good but rugged vehicle gravel tracks abound.

However:

The article titled "And Then There Were None," published on 22 June 2022 by the Murthly History Group, delves into the intriguing narrative of Sir William Drummond Stewart (1795–1871) and his connections to Native Americans in 19th-century Scotland. Sir William, after an adventurous period in North America during the 1830s, returned to Scotland in 1839, bringing with him various elements of the American West, including American bison and possibly Native American individuals. The article examines the veracity of claims that two Native Americans accompanied him to Murthly to care for the imported bison. Despite thorough research, including reviews of historical records, no concrete evidence has been found to confirm the presence of Native Americans residing in Murthly during that period. The piece also critiques the propagation of such stories, suggesting that they may have been embellished or originated from anecdotal sources, particularly following the publication of "Scotsman in Buckskin" in 1963. The article underscores the challenges historians face in distinguishing between myth and fact, especially when relying on anecdotal evidence and later interpretations.
