Braco, Scotland

Braco, Scotland

Braco is a village in Perthshire, Scotland. It is located 5 miles from Dunblane towards Perth down the A9, 2 miles off the Greenloaning exit. Home to one of the largest and best preserved Roman Forts in Britain; Ardoch. Home of a primary school, clock tower, town hall and church, Braco has much to offer the passing visitor.

According to graffiti at the entrance to the village, Braco is "twinned with Trumpton", a humorous assertion which, for a time, was taken by outsiders to be true.
