I moved to the village of Dull in 2017, just outside Aberfeldy (not far from Pitlochry)after falling in love with the area and hope that you will enjoy it as much as I do.

The village of Dull is famous for being twinned with the towns of Boring in the USA and Bland in Australia.

It was used by the car company Jaguar in 2017 to make a very humorous advert.

Watch as the Jaguar F-TYPE cruises through Boring, Oregon, population 8,000, and Dull, Scotland, population 86. The F-TYPE delivers exhilaration at every turn for an experience that is anything but dull or boring.

Dull was historically a place of sanctuary and was bounded by stone crosses, the only surviving one can still be seen near the church yard.

Dull or Carse Farm stone circle has 17 cup marks (a form of prehistoric art) believed to be from the period 2150 – 1800 BC. Similar forms are found throughout the world.

“While o’er their heads the hazels hing,
The little birdies blythely sing,
Or lightly flit on wanton wing,
In the birks of Aberfeldy. ”
— Robbie Burns
