Kinnoull Parish Church

Kinnoull Parish Church is a historic Church of Scotland building located on Dundee Road in Perth. Designed by William Burn and built in 1827, it stands near the River Tay and the remains of a 17th-century predecessor, which is preserved today as a scheduled monument.
The church is renowned for its striking Millais window, featuring fourteen painted glass panels depicting the parables of Jesus based on woodcuts by Sir John Everett Millais. History seekers can also explore the churchyard, which contains the grave of Effie Gray and a historic vault dedicated to the 1st Earl of Kinnoull.
Visitors can attend Sunday worship at 10:30 am or admire the interior’s fine stained glass and pipe organ. Outside, the site offers a glimpse into the past through its ancient boundary walls, burial aisle, and intricate heraldic monuments salvaged from the earlier 1635 church.
