Redgorton is a settlement in Gowrie, Perth and Kinross, Scotland. It lies a few miles from the River Tay and the A9 road, across the latter from Luncarty.The first recorded spelling of Redgorton was Rochgorton, this can be found in a charter of King David I preserved in the chartulary of Scone. The prefix of the current name, can be seen as translation of the Gaelic word Roch, or Ruach, which means 'red.' Gorton, or Garton, suggests "a little field" The name as a whole, Redgorton, can be interpreted as 'the red field or field of blood,' and it has been muted that it arose on account of the proximity of the Battle of Luncarty, which took place near Redgorton in 980AD between the Danes and the Scots.
