Tour Scotland Video Interior Parish Church Tibbermore Perthshire

Tour Scotland travel video of the interior of the Parish Church on ancestry, genealogy, history, Outlander visit and small group to Tibbermore, Perthshire, Scotland. This Scottish church dates from 1632, though the site has been a place of worship from the Middle Ages onwards. It was remodelled and enlarged in 1789 to designs by James Scobie, made T-plan in 1808 and the interior refurnished in 1874. The present interior is little altered since that date. Some wooden pews have little doors with locks. Two galleries, east and west, are reached by stairs. Stained glass windows show Jesus baptised by John the Baptist and Queen Margaret. Transferred to the ownership of the Scottish Redundant Churches Trust in 2001. Tibbermore Church, situated four miles west of Perth, Scotland, provided the perfect backdrop for an Outlander scene. In episode 11 of Outlander’s debut season, The Devil’s Mark saw Geillis Duncan and Claire Randall put on trial after being accused of witchcraft. Tibbermore Church was used for the witch trial.

Tour Scotland Photograph Methven and Logiealmond Church Perthshire

Tour Scotland photograph of Methven and Logiealmond Church in Perthshire, Scotland. Deeply affected by the death of his wife, Thomas Graham, Lord Lynedoch, commissioned a Mausoleum to her memory in the kirk yard at Methven, Perthshire. This gave the architect James Playfair, a chance to put to practice his most advanced ideas and the resultant design in the form of a gigantic sarcophagus is truly amazing for its period. After a long life Lord Lynedoch joined his wife in her last resting place in 1848. The Mausoleum is the free standing building in front of the church.

There are about three thousand volumes shelved in a fine, well lit room on the upper floor, many of great age and value, one of the most interesting being the great Marquis of Montrose's personal pocket Bible, in French, bearing his autograph. The library was founded in 1691 by David Drummond, 3rd Lord Madderty, Montrose's brother-in-law, who also endowed the school in an adjoining building. Many of the books were added, about sixty years later by Robert Hay Drummond, Archbishop of Canterbury, who had inherited Innerpeffray and other great estates, and who erected the present library building.

Tour Scotland Photographs Huntingtower Castle Perth Perthshire February 21st

Tour Scotland photograph shot this afternoon of Huntingtower Castle, by Perth, Perthshire, Scotland. Huntingtower Castle once known as Ruthven Castle or the Palace of Ruthven is situated about 3 miles from the centre of Perth, on the main road to Crieff.

Tour Scotland photograph shot today of Huntingtower Castle, by Perth, Perthshire, Scotland. Huntingtower Castle was built in stages from the 15th century by the Clan Ruthven family and was known for several hundred years as the Palace of Ruthven. In the summer of 1582, the castle was occupied by the 4th Lord Ruthven, who was also the 1st Earl of Gowrie, and his family. Gowrie was involved in a plot to kidnap the young King James VI, son of Mary, Queen of Scots. During 1582 Gowrie and his associates seized the young king and held him prisoner for 10 months. This kidnapping is known as the 'Raid of Ruthven' and the Protestant conspirators behind it hoped to gain power through controlling the king. James eventually escaped and actually forgave Gowrie, but after a second abortive attempt by Gowrie and others to overthrow him, Gowrie was finally executed and his property, including Huntingtower, was forfeited to the crown. The Castle and lands were restored to the Ruthven family in 1586. However in 1600, the brothers John and Alexander Ruthven were implicated in another plot to kill King James VI and were executed. This time, the king was less merciful: as well as seizing the estates, he abolished the name of Ruthven and decreed that any successors would be ineligible to hold titles or lands. Thus the House of Ruthven ceased to exist and by royal proclamation the castle was renamed Huntingtower. The Castle remained in the possession of the crown until 1643 when it was given to the family of Murray of Tullibardine, from whom the Dukes of Atholl and Mansfield are descended. John Murray, 1st Duke of Atholl resided in the Castle, where his wife Lady Mary Ross bore a son 7 February 1717. The Castle began to be neglected and after Lady Mary died in 1767, it was abandoned as a place of residence except by farm labourers. Today, the Castle can be visited by the public and is sometimes used as a venue for marriage ceremonies. It is in the care of Historic Scotland and is open to the public.
