Findo Gask
Village in Scotland
Findo Gask is a small village in Perth and Kinross in Scotland, just off the main A9 road. It is in Strathearn.
There are nearby remains associated with the Roman Road to the south[1] and the Roman Frontier[2] on the Gask Ridge.
The area was associated with the family of Laurence Oliphant,[3] and his daughter, the songwriter Lady Nairne, was born there.[4]
During the Second World War, units of the Polish Army were stationed at Findo Gask Airfield (now disused).[5]
The woodlands around Findo Gask are known[by whom?] to be excellent sites for the collection of truffles, particularly black truffles, and truffle hunters can often be observed there during certain seasons.[citation needed]
Gask House was built here in 1801 designed by Richard Crichton a pupil of Robert Adam.[6]
