Tour Scotland Travel Video Walk Around Parish Church Kenmore Highland Perthshire



Tour Scotland travel video of a walk around the Parish Church in Kenmore on ancestry visit to Highland Perthshire, Scotland. There was a church first built at Kenmore in 1579, replacing the pre Reformation church at Inchadney, though the Inchadney church, burial ground and manse were still used until 1760 when the burial ground was closed, and a new Manse was built on the glebe, across Loch Tay from the church. Much of what can be seen of the building at present dates to about 1760, when the 3rd Earl of Breadalbane built a model village at Kenmore, and reconstructed the church. The church was further renovated in 1871, and in 1924, when the congregations of the Free and Established Churches were in the process of uniting, both congregations were involved in again renovating the church and rebuilding the chancel. The organ was moved to its present position in what had been Lady Breadalbane’s gallery, and the light oak furnishing installed.
