Weem Village

Weem village, just north of Aberfeldy, existed as long ago as 1235, pre-dating Aberfeldy by about 500 years. The ancient village was previously known as Bail-a-Chlalchain nan Uamh ( Kirktoun or Churchtown of Weem. ) The village was a centre of religious and economic importance. The Weem Hotel, a historic Inn, is said to date back to 1527. This was more than likely the base for General Wade during the 1733 construction of the bridge at Aberfeldy. The old church dates from around 1510 and was a place of worship until 1839 when it became the mauseleum of the Menzies family.
