Forteviot was the Pictish royal centre in the mid ninth century AD, and became the regional ceremonial centre for the Picts from as early as the eighth century. Forteviot was the seat of Cinaed mac Aipin, Kenneth, son of Alpin, who ruled Southern Pictland. Kenneth MacAlpin’s ancestors went on to rule the kingdom until the 11th century, overseeing areas such as modern day Angus, Fife and Perthshire, which formed the core of the Pictish lands. The present village was rebuilt in the 1920s by John Alexander Dewar, 1st Baron Forteviot of the Dewar's whisky family. The people known in ancient Scotland as the Picts were the forefathers of the Dewar family. It is a name for a pilgrim from the Gaelic word deoradh. The deoradh kept the relics of saints. The family have been the hereditary custodians of St. Fillan's Crozier. The surname Dewar was first found in Perthshire, Gaelic: Siorrachd Pheairt, former county in the present day Council Area of Perth and Kinross, located in central Scotland. Dewarton is a village, in the parish of Borthwick, county of Edinburgh. It is here that the Dewar family have held the estate of Vogrie since early times. Dewar has been written as Dewar, Dure, Dewyer, Dewer, McIndeor, McJarrow and many more. A branch of the Clan Dewar, the Dewars of Cambuskenneth were established by at least the 17th century, although Dewars are recorded in nearby Stirling, which was a Royal Burgh, from as early as 1483. John Dewar, son of Patrick Dewar of Cambuskenneth was fined £50 in 1710 for causing blood and riot. A derivation of the name in Scottish Gaelic is Deoradh which means pilgrim. The most distinguished of five Highland families by the name Dewar were the Dewar Coigerachs who were custodians of the Staff of St Fillan. The staff was carried at the Battle of Bannockburn in support of Robert the Bruce in 1314.
