Aldclune is a village in Perth and Kinross, Scotland. It is on the B8079 road, approximately 1+1⁄2 miles (2.5 kilometres) east of Blair Atholl, on the north bank of the River Garry.[1] At the eastern edge of the village is the site of the Battle of Killiecrankie, which took place in 1689 during the Jacobite rising of 1689–92.
