St David's: Madderty Hall, landscape and remembrance

You can get to know St David's through three specific themes: sessions at Madderty Hall, the Madderty Parish War Memorial and the landscape perspective of Strathearn. They represent different focuses for a trip. At the hall, the focus is on recurring activities; at the memorial, on remembrance by name. Madderty Village Hall offers views across the Strathearn landscape. If you are looking for a hotel for a stay in St David's, these themes can help you define the purpose of your trip more precisely.

Madderty Hall and its events

Madderty Hall is located at St. David's, Madderty, Crieff, PH7 3PJ. Pickleball sessions take place at Madderty Hall in St David's on Mondays and Wednesdays; no prior experience is required. A weekly exercise class led by Live Active is also held there. The activities follow different schedules: pickleball is associated with two days of the week, while the exercise class takes place weekly. If you would like to include one of these sessions in your travel plans, check the current schedule in advance, as session times may change. This lets you plan around a specific activity at the hall.

Landscape in Strathearn

Madderty Village Hall offers views across the Strathearn landscape. This adds a different perspective to the activities on offer: the hall sessions focus on particular days of the week, while the views highlight a landscape aspect of St David's. If your travel decision does not depend solely on events, this view across Strathearn can be a reason in its own right to consider the area.

Madderty Parish War Memorial

The Madderty Parish War Memorial stands on Madderty Moor, about a mile south of Madderty, in St David's, Perth and Kinross, Tayside, PH7 3PJ, Scotland. It is a triangular whinstone cairn with a pink marble dedication plaque, in an enclosed roadside area. The memorial commemorates nine fallen soldiers: Peter Anderson, William Cumming, Wm. Ferguson, James M’Culloch, Thos. M’Intosh, James Philip, Joseph Rankin, John Turpie and Robert H. MacLagan Wedderburn.

A cairn is a mound built from piled stones. Here, the triangular shape and whinstone form part of the memorial's structure; the pink marble plaque bears the dedication. The names make clear that the memorial honours nine individual fallen soldiers. For visitors interested in local remembrance, it offers both a specific place and a clearly stated dedication.

Historical context and travel planning

Historically, St David's was described as being situated on the Craig of Madderty estate. This association adds a historical context to the area's story of remembrance.

The memorial offers a historical focus through its names and design, while the views across Strathearn provide the landscape aspect. This can help you decide which theme matters more for your stay. If a hall session determines your plans, check the current schedule before travelling.
