Spring Sunday Parish Church And Cemetery Kinclaven Perthshire Scotland

Tour Scotland 4K Spring Sunday travel video of the Parish Church and cemetery on visit to Kinclaven, Perthshire. Kinclaven is located in a bend of the River Tay opposite its confluence with the River Isla, ten miles north of Perth. The parish church was rebuilt in 1848. Built into the churchyard wall is the monument to Alexander Campbell, Bishop of Brechin 1608. There was an ancient castle in old Kinclaven which is said to have been built by Malcolm Canmore, and to have been for many centuries an occasional residence of the kings of Scotland, from which several of their charters are dated. During the wars that arose, from the contested succession to the throne, between Robert the Bruce and Baliol, the castle was occupied by an English garrison, which, being at an unguarded moment surprised by Sir William Wallace, was taken and dismantled so far as to render it no longer tenable as a place of strength. Church was closed today due to the Coronavirus Pandemic lockdown.
