Muthill Old Church and Tower

Muthill Old Church was a significant early Christian site, associated with the cathedral at Dunblane. Its imposing bell tower is a reminder of how important it once was. The fine Romanesque bell tower dates from the mid 1100s and was originally free-standing. The outer walls, arcades and chancel arch were built in the 1400s. The church was further altered with a central pulpit to accommodate Protestant worship after the Reformation in 1560. In the 1820s it was abandoned and later partially dismantled to provide building stone for the new parish and Episcopal churches.
