Blaeberry Hill is a deserted settlement located in Perthshire, Scotland, consisting of the archaeological remains of a small rural community whose occupation spans the medieval and early modern periods. The site comprises the visible earthworks of structures typical of upland settlement, including the foundations and platforms of dwellings and associated agricultural features scattered across the hillside. Such settlements represent important evidence for understanding patterns of rural habitation, land use, and economic organisation in the Scottish Highlands during the medieval era and the subsequent periods of settlement shift and abandonment. The archaeological record at Blaeberry Hill contributes to broader scholarly understanding of how highland communities adapted to environmental and social pressures that eventually led to the depopulation of many upland sites.
