Pitcairngreen (pronounced 'Pit-cairn Green') is a hamlet / very small village in Perth and Kinross which is more or less adjoined to the much larger village of Almondbank. It lies around 4 miles northwest of Perth, and as its name would suggest, two features of the settlement are a green and a cairn. The Village's layout was designed in 1786 to have a green at the centre of it by James Stobie factor to John Murray, the 4th Duke of Atholl.The presence of a village green is unusual for a Scottish village as these are more commonly associated with traditional English villages. Stobie designed Pitcairngreen to be an industrial textile manufacturing village for Thomas Graham, a textile manufacturer.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pitcairngreen )〕 Its rivalry with the Manchester textile factories is set out in the poem "The Scottish Village, or Pitcairngreen" by Hannah Cowley which starts with the lines: ::::"Go Manchester and weep thy slighted loom ::::its arts are cherished now in Pitcairne Green."〔 ==Amenities== The village has a pub called the Pitcairngreen Inn,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Pitcairngreen Inn - a traditional village pub near Perth )〕 a village hall and a park or green which the village is built around. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pitcairngreen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
