history
The small town of Forteviot can look back on a long history and was once the capital of a Pictish kingdom. John Dewar, 1st Baron Forteviot , politician and co-owner of the whiskey company Dewar’s , initiated the redesign of the village in the style of an English garden city. The Scottish architect James Miller , who is primarily active in Glasgow , planned Dewar's vision and implemented it between 1925 and 1927.
