1 review of Kinfauns Parish Church

Mysterious and evocative

Excellent

At the end of Perth, facing Dundee, you can see this church, which stands among five houses. According to historical documents, it is one of the oldest in the country. Although it is located in one of Scotland's smaller cities, it was famous in medieval times for the number of donations it received, enabling it to make valuable contributions to various monasteries in the region (such as Lindores, Balmerino, or Inchaffray Cambuskenneth) who saw the church as a useful source of income. At present, it is still very isolated and apparently unused, with all openings covered by wooden panels. But appearances can be deceptive...peepholes will show you that the inside of the church remains intact.

There are two clearly divided areas inside: the original church, near the historic cemetery, and where the church stands before us today, dating from the eighteenth century. This is possibly not the most exciting tour, but there's plenty of historical interest, and this is a gem for those who love mysterious and evocative places. The old cemetery (with the ruins of the original church) is sure to have an impact. Look out for the ghosts that are said to haunt it!
