caption_attribution_description: English: Self-seeded Sitka Spruce Picea sitchensis (green) and Japanese Larch Larix kaempferi (red-brown) at Kindrogan woods, Perth &amp; Kinross, Scotland
context_page_description: Kindrogan House is located near Enochdhu, Blairgowrie, Perth and Kinross in Moulin parish, at the head of Strath Ardle, 7 miles ENE of Pitlochry and 2 ¹⁄₂ miles northwest of Kirkmichael. It is run by the Field Studies Council.
context_section_description: The Barons Ruadh, later Reid, were the local lairds and chiefs of the Robertson Clan. The Balvarran stone in the area has four deep cupmarks in it, anciently used for holding water to baptise the laird's son. The last chief was not baptised at the stone and this was said to be the reason for his having no son and heir.
  The Giant's Grave and standing stone is at Enochdhu, supposedly the burial place of Prince Ard-fhuil (meaning of high or noble blood) who was killed hereabouts, with two of his men, whilst fighting the Danes in AD 903. They were supposedly buried head to foot, 'explaining' the size of the grave. The Danes are buried at the Grey Hollow nearby.
  Donal Mor and his eight daughters are said to have once lived in a house situated on what is now the lawn in front of the present day Kindrogan House. The family had built an underground kitchen in the area where they slaughtered and cooked stolen cattle, however the locals became suspicious and they were caught redhanded, banished and their home burnt down. Donal himself hid in a cave at Kindrogan Rock, however he was discovered and in desperation hanged himself at Cnoc Dhimhnuill Mhor, (Donal Mor's Knowe).
  Several other standing stones and cup marked stones are located in the vicinity of Kindrogan House.
  Kindrogan House is said to be home to at least three ghosts, two are women and one is that of a child.
