Collace (/kəˈleɪs/) is a parish in Perthshire, Scotland, 8 miles (13 kilometres) northeast of Perth, in the Carse of Gowrie district.[1] The parish boundary includes the neighbouring villages of Kinrossie and Saucher.[2]
The traditional industries of the area are farming, quarrying (sandstone) and weaving, but the latter is now gone.[3]
Dunsinane Hill, mentioned in the Shakespeare play Macbeth, is located near Collace.[2] King's Seat, a low hill east of the village, is marked romantically on older maps as "Macbeth's Castle".[4]
Bandirran Stone Circle stands just south of the village.[5]
