About Strath Earn

Strath Earn is a natural site. Location: Perth and Kinross, Scotland.

From Wikipedia

Strathearn or Strath Earn (, Scottish Gaelic: Srath Èireann), also the Earn Valley, is the strath of the River Earn, which flows from Loch Earn to meet the River Tay in the east of Scotland. The area covers the 30-mile (50-kilometre) stretch of the river, containing a number of settlements in Perthshire. It shares a name with a modern ward used for elections to Perth and Kinross Council. Strathearn was also the name of an ancient province of the Kingdom of Alba, under the authority of a mormaer and then an Earl.
