Summary
The gallows trees formerly on Gallow Hill, Auchterarder.
Gallow Hill farm got its name from the gallows trees, a circle of trees on the crown of a hill, whose location Mrs Young describes, along with the path leading to them. The Gallow Dub [pond] was drained when the hospital was built. Mr MacNaughton, who took the farm after Mrs Young's grandparents, removed the gallows trees some time prior to 1918.
