St Martins is a parish in Perth and Kinross, Scotland, just north of the Sidlaws range of hills, about north-northeast of Perth and northwest of Balbeggie.[1] The parish is named for Martin of Tours, of Lower Hungary.[2]
Perth Airport, at Scone, is to the south, and the parish is beneath the climb-out of aircraft departing from runway 03.[3]
The parish is mentioned in William Shakespeare's Macbeth, in a scene in which the title character meets with two witches on a moor in the parish. The location is marked by today's Witches' Stone.[4]
