Muthill

Opened in the 1820's The Parish Church, Muthill was constucted after an ancient church within Muthill was deemed to small. The older building still stands, albeit without a roof or glazing amidst gravestones dating back to the 1700's. The photographs can't quite show the layout of the new church, a simple rectangular building fronted by a tower, although the church sits within the village it is bounded by grassy fields.
