Collace

Collace (/kəˈleɪs/) is a parish in Perthshire, Scotland, 8 miles (13 kilometres) northeast of Perth, in the Carse of Gowrie district. The parish boundary includes the neighbouring villages of Kinrossie and Saucher.

The traditional industries of the area are farming, quarrying (sandstone) and weaving, but the latter is now gone.

Dunsinane Hill, mentioned in the Shakespeare play Macbeth, is located near Collace. King's Seat, a low hill east of the village, is marked romantically on older maps as "Macbeth's Castle".

Bandirran Stone Circle stands just south of the village.
