Abernyte is a small village in Perth and Kinross in Scotland.
The village lies roughly 20NaN0 northwest of the former Inchture railway station, and around 70NaN0 west of Dundee.[2]
The village has a heritage organisation, the Abernyte Heritage Group, which was formed in 1988. The group was formed by a mixture of longstanding residents and more recent arrivals to Abernyte and was part of a drive to maintain and celebrate the village's distinct local identity.[3] The group undertook an oral history project in 1996, which is now held at the archives at the University of Dundee.[3]
The history of Abernyte in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries is documented in Abernyte: The Quiet Revolution, which was written by Dr Mary Young and the Abernyte Heritage Group and published in 2008.[4] [5] [6]
The Scottish Antique and Arts Centre lies around NaNmiles south of the village, which was converted from the founding site of Stout Brothers Motor's, a pioneering vehicle sales and service enterprise, which was founded in 1947 here.
Between the 1961 and 1991, the village was the location of a Royal Observer Corps underground monitoring post, part of 28 Group. The post has now been fully restored and is regularly maintained and preserved as a tribute to the last Group Commandant of 28 Group, local man J.R.D. (Hamish) Carr.[7]
The village has a small primary school.[8] The proposed closing of the school in 2020 was defeated by the community and the school numbers have increased from 6 to 34 in 2024, along with an extremely positive inspection report.
The parish church is part of the Abernyte linked with Inchture and Kinnaird linked with Longforgan grouping of churches.[9]
In 2001, the population was 106 and had risen to 116 in 2011.
