History

Dalguise House

Plans to build a house in Dalguise were completed in 1714, and building was completed in 1753. Extensions to the property were built in 1791, 1812 and 1821.

Beatrix Potter stayed at Dalguise House with her family during the early 1890s. Whilst staying at Dalguise in 1893, Potter wrote picture letters which provided the basis for her first book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit, and the book The Tale of Jeremy Fisher. The latter was influenced by her exploration of the River Tay. The Tale of Mrs Tiggy Winkle, published in 1905, was also inspired by the Potters' old washer woman at Dalguise, Kitty MacDonald.

Dalguise House was purchased in 1992 by PGL, becoming an outdoor education centre.

Notable features

Dalguise has a village hall, which has been used for activities such as meditation and country dancing.

A 1.25-mile section of the River Tay within Dalguise is owned by Dalguise Fishings, providing an area for salmon fishing. A fishing hut is also situated on the river.

Transport

Dalguise railway station closed to passengers in 1965. The number 60 bus between Aberfeldy and Blairgowrie, operated by Stagecoach East Scotland, stops at Dalguise once a day on schooldays.
