Admire the roofless medieval church of Muthill with its remarkably complete Romanesque tower.

A small religious community was founded here in the late 1100s, likely under the influence of the Bishops of Dunblane. From the outset, Muthill held considerable status and may even have served as an occasional stand‑in for the cathedral.

The tower, built around this period, originally stood on its own. In the 1400s, the church’s nave was rebuilt and extended to incorporate it.
