St. Mary's Chapel - Grandtully
This chapel served the small settlement of Pitcairn, which extended around
the walls of the castle of Grandtully, and which was within the parish
of Dull. It was probably built around 1533, when Alexander Stewart, who
lived in the castle, provided endowments for a priest to serve here. It
was enlarged and refitted in 1636 by Sir William Stewart, who was the Sheriff-Principal
of Perth under Charles I. In 1883 it briefly became a parish church, but
nine years later was abandonded for worship when a new church was built
elsewhere, and for a while it was partly used as a byre and farm store.
