Little Dunkeld Kirk History
Built just a few years before the Telford Bridge, Little Dunkeld takes its name from its location and not its size. It served as the Parish church for the area south of the River Tay and the two parishes (Cathedral and Little Dunkeld) were united in 1974.
Little Dunkeld Kirk gets its name from the area in which it is situated and not from the size of the building. (It can actually seat more people than the Cathedral.)
The building is a typical Presbyterian design with a large pulpit on the long wall and three sided gallery so it was designed very much as a preaching station.
It has gone through several alterations in its lifetime, the most recent being a few years ago when some pews were removed to open up the area around the pulpit and to the sides giving it a much more user friendly appearance and allowing for multi purpose use at other times in the week.
Amulree
The existing church is the first to be built on this site, completed in 1752, it replaced the church at Shian, about 3 1/2 miles further up Glen Quaich. It is said that some of the timbers used in the building came from the scaffolding used when Wades Bridge was built shortly before. The building has been altered several times since. The porch and the vestry on the North side have e=been added on and in 1881-82 further improvements were made. In 1958 the West end of the building was remodelled. The Western third was cut off and a separate Session and Sunday school room was created. The gallery above was sealed off and so the space to be heated much reduced.
Six large windows in the South wall ensure that the interior is bright and well lit. The stained glass window in the East wall was given in 1905 by the Gray family.
In more modern times electricity was connected in 1959 paid for by a legacy from John McDougall, a retired shepherd from Dallick in the Sma'Glen. In 1998 a kitchen was added and a water supply installed by the Kemp-Walsh family of the Garrows.
There is a remarkable bell in the bellcote in the West gable. This was cast in 1519 in Mallines in Belgium and is a fine example of the work of William van der Ghein.
