Tour Scotland photograph of The Arches, Alyth, Perthshire, Scotland. The ruins of the old church, known locally as The Arches, stand in a graveyard cemetery in a prominent position at the top of the town of Alyth. The structural remains of the medieval church consist of the three arches of what was probably the north arcade, together with the wall that divided the chancel from a chapel at the east end of the north aisle. The church appears to be identified first in a letter of King David II, dated 5 March 1352, which prohibited the holding of fairs at the church of Alyth.
