Tour Scotland photograph of the church and cemetery in Redgorton, Perthshire, Scotland. The now unused Redgorton Parish Church was built in 1766. The New Statistical Account of Scotland published in 1834, described Redgorton as a parish, in the county of Perth, 4 miles from Perth; containing the villages of Bridgetown, Luncarty, Craighead, Cromwell-Park, and Pitcairn Green, and part of the late quoad sacra district of Stanley. This parish comprehends the three ancient, and now united, parishes of Redgorton, Luncarty, and St. Serf's, which are supposed to have been formed into one about the period of the Reformation. The parish is divided into two detached parts, the lower of which lies at the confluence of the Tay and the Almond, and the upper beyond the parish of Moneydie, at the foot of the Grampians. The church, built in 1776, is situated nearly in the middle of the lower part of the parish, and contains 700 sittings; it is well fitted up, but is very inconveniently placed for the population in the upper district, being from seven to eight miles distant from some of the inhabitants. A very handsome chapel of ease has been erected at Stanley. There are places of worship for members of the United Secession and Original Seceders.
