History of Perth, Scotland
Perth ((スコットランド・ゲール語:Peairt)) is a city and former royal burgh in central Scotland. There has been a settlement at Perth since prehistoric times. Finds in and around Perth show that it was occupied by the Mesolithic hunter-gatherers who arrived in the area more than 8,000 years ago.〔(culture and archaeology : Perth and Kinross Heritage Trust : Archaeology Section - Overview )〕 Nearby Neolithic standing stones and circles followed the introduction of farming from about 4000 BC, and a remarkably well preserved Bronze age log boat dated to around 1000 BC was found in the mudflats of the River Tay at Carpow to the east of Perth.〔(culture and archaeology : Perth and Kinross Heritage Trust : Archaeology Section - Carpow Log Boat ), (Scotsman.com: A 3,000-year-old voyage of discovery ), (Iris logboat, water trough or...? )〕 Carpow was also the site of a Roman legionary fortress.〔(Romans in Scotland - Carpow Roman Fort )〕
==Early medieval period==
The name ''Perth'' derives from a Pictish word for ''wood'' or ''copse'', and links the town to the Picts described by the Romans, who subsequently joined with the Scots to form the kingdom of Alba which later became known as Scotland. During much of the medieval period the town was known colloquially as "St. John's Toun" or "Saint Johnstoun" because the church at the centre of the parish was dedicated to St. John the Baptist.〔Graham-Campbell ''Perth: The Fair City'' 1994, p.2.〕 Perth's Pictish name, and some archaeological evidence, indicate that there must have been a settlement here from earlier times, probably at a point where a river crossing or crossings coincided with a slightly raised natural mound on the west bank of the Tay (which at Perth flows north-south), thus giving some protection for settlement from the frequent flooding.〔Graham-Campbell ''Perth: The Fair City'' 1994, p.1.〕 The presence of Scone two miles northeast, a royal centre of Alba from at least the reign of Kenneth I mac Ailpín (843-58), later the site of the major Augustinian abbey of the same name founded by Alexander I (1107–24), will have enhanced Perth's early importance. It was for long the effective 'capital' of Scotland, due to the frequent residence of the royal court. It was at Scone Abbey that the Stone of Destiny was kept, and on it the Kings of Scots were crowned down to Alexander III (1249–86).〔
