Notes: The 15th-century Murthly Castle is located 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) to the west. An ambitious 19th-century replacement castle by James Gillespie Graham was never finished and was later demolished. Within the castle grounds is the Chapel of St Anthony the Eremite, a Catholic chapel designed by James Gillespie Graham and A W N Pugin in 1846, attached to an earlier 16th century chapel. Carving in the castle and the chapel was done by Patric Park, then aged only 17.
