Kinloch /ˈkɪnlɒx/ is a small settlement along the A94 road in the Coupar Angus and Meigle ward of the council area of Perth and Kinross in eastern Scotland.[1] Approximately 4+1⁄2 miles (7 kilometres) east is the village of Eassie, noted for the presence of the Eassie Stone; this carved Pictish stone is dated prior to the Early Middle Ages.[2]
The most prominent building is Kinloch House, designed and built by the radical MP George Kinloch in 1798, replacing an older house on the same site.[3] From around 1972, until his death in 1989, Kinloch House was the residence of Captain the 6th Earl of Enniskillen, MBE, an Anglo-Irish aristocrat. Popularly known as David Enniskillen, he had been born into a famous Ulster family and had spent much of his life in Kenya.
