The possibility of discovering evidence a Celtic chieftain once ruled from on high above Dunkeld is a tantalising one.

A few feet of earth above the site known as King’s Seat may be all that separates archaeology teams from an array of artefacts.

No excavation has ever been undertaken at the Fort of the Caledonians – which gave the town its name – and it had been overgrown for decades.
