Tullibardine Chapel, Tullibardine, Perthshire, Scotland

I tried my best to get some photos of Tullibardine Chapel this morning but it was so misty. I could barely see a thing although it’s now burning off. Tullibardine is “out of area” about 2 miles out of Auchterarder (although Balquhidder Stewarts will have travelled here, and will have married into the Drummond and Murray families who frequented this part of Perthshire). Tullibardine Chapel is such a beautiful peaceful place. It is a pre-Reformation chapel and is said to have been established back in 1446. I could not see the interior as it is closed for Covid-19 reasons, but worth a visit. For fans of Outlander, Tullibardine Chapel was used for filming (second series).Again I have borrowed a hyperlink as there are some decent interior shots. https://www.thehazeltree.co.uk/…/01/tullibardine-chapel/

She enjoys getting outside with her camera and capturing sights that we would never have access to without her generosity and enthusiasm. Shuna has traced her ancestry to an 18th century soldier named James Stewart, who is genetically linked to our clan, but remains frustratingly elusive in his exact relationship.
