Coupar Angus Abbey was a Cistercian monastery near Coupar Angus, in central Scotland, on the boundary between Angus and Gowrie. It was founded on the old royal manor of Coupar in 1161 to 1162 with the patronage of Máel Coluim IV ("Malcolm IV"), King of Scots, by Cistercian monks from Melrose Abbey. However, it may not have been fully established until 1164. The buildings must have been largely completed by 1233, when the church was dedicated. It became an abbey of medium to large size and wealth and enjoyed more than four centuries of monastic life. In the 14th century it suffered in the wars with England, one of its granges reportedly being burnt by Edward I in 1305. In 1351 the buildings were described in a papal bull as "exceedingly impoverished." Its fortunes revived later in the middle ages, with at least 24 monks at the Reformation and an income of £5590. This made it the wealthiest Cistercian house in Scotland. In 1559 the abbey was entrusted by Abbot Donald Campbell to his friend Katherine Campbell, Countess of Crawford. Under Donald Campbell religious life appears to have been maintained at high standards, though he joined the Reformation in 1559. The abbey was turned into a secular lordship for James Elphinstone, by parliament in 1606 and by royal charter in 1607. The abbey church appears to have survived for a time as the parish church. However, from the death of Lord Coupar in 1669 it is likely that the buildings were dismantled for stone. Today, there are almost no remains of the abbey, much of it being burned by the Protestant reformers. A collection of its charters has survived. There is a heavily ruined gatehouse, and some fine fragmentary stonework from the Abbey (notably a number of tombs) is preserved in the present parish church, which stands on or near the site of the medieval building. Other fragments are built into walls throughout the modern town. The original layout of the abbey remains conjectural; a drawing of 1820 held in the National Library of Scotland allegedly showing the plan has been found to be incorrect. In the 19th century some women allegedly found the Ley tunnel of Coupar Angus Abbey near the entrance to the churchyard. One went in and was never seen again, however in 1982 a local mason found the entrance again and went in some distance before finding a cave-in. It is said (without evidence) that the tunnel ran a further two and a half miles to a souterrain at Pitcur. Both the Abbey gatehouse and the Abbey precincts are separately designated as scheduled monuments.

Coupar Angus ( ; Gaelic: Cupar Aonghais) is a town in Perth and Kinross, Scotland. It lies on the River Isla in the broad and fertile Valley of Strathmore, 4 miles (6 kilometres) south of Blairgowrie. The A94 road from Perth to Forfar runs through the town, and it had a station on the Midland Junction line until 1967. The town formerly straddled the border between Angus and Perthshire, but it has lain wholly within Perthshire since 1891. It retains the name "Coupar Angus", however, which serves to distinguish it from Cupar in Fife.

The A94 is a major road in Scotland, United Kingdom.

Kettins is a village in Perth and Kinross, Scotland about 14 miles (23 kilometres) northeast of Perth and 11 miles (18 kilometres) northwest of Dundee. It is 1 mile (1.5 kilometres) from Coupar Angus, north of the A923 road.

The River Ericht (Scottish Gaelic: Abhainn Eireachd) is a river in Perthshire, Scotland formed from the confluence of the rivers Blackwater and Ardle at Bridge of Cally. It runs south for around 10 miles before discharging into the River Isla, and eventually the River Tay. The river cuts through the impressive Craighall Gorge before dissecting the burgh of Blairgowrie and Rattray. The fast running water of the river was once used to power several textile mills. Game fishing for salmon and trout is possible on some stretches with an appropriate licence.

Monk Myre is a small shallow freshwater lochan and is located 2.5 miles southeast of Blairgowrie in Perth and Kinross.

The Strathmore meteorite landed in the Strathmore area of Perthshire on 3 December 1917.

The South Corston fragment of the meteorite is in the care of Perth Museum and Art Gallery.

Ardler railway station served the village of Ardler in the Scottish county of Perth and Kinross. Its proximity to Alyth Junction made it part of the divergence of the Dundee and Newtyle Railway from the Scottish Midland Junction Railway running between Perth and Arbroath.

Kinloch 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. 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. 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. 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.
