Elcho Castle

Elcho Castle () is located close to the south bank of the River Tay approximately four miles south-east of Perth, Scotland, in the region of Perth and Kinross. It was maintained by Clan Wemyss from its construction around 1560 until it was put into the care of the Secretary of State for Scotland in the early 20th century, though was not occupied for the entire time. In around 1830 it was re-roofed and a nearby cottage constructed. The castle has been a scheduled monument since 1920 on the grounds of being "a particularly fine example of a Medieval tower-house", and the cottage became a listed building in 1971 in recognition of its national importance. The castle is unusual in that it has both en suite guest accommodation like a mansion, but also a large number of gun loops.

Rhynd

Rhynd () is a hamlet in Perth and Kinross, Scotland. It is located 3+1⁄4 miles (5.2 kilometres) southeast of Perth, on the south side of the River Tay. The parish church was built in 1842, and replaced an earlier church at Easter Rhynd, 2 miles (3 kilometres) southeast, where the churchyard can still be seen. The village has an unusual "K3" telephone box, a concrete variant of the more common "K2", which is protected as a category A listed building as the only surviving example in Scotland. The 16th-century Elcho Castle, built by the Wemyss family, lies 3⁄4 mile (1.2 kilometres) north, and is now in the care of Historic Environment Scotland. The name Rhynd comes from the Gaelic roinn meaning a share or a portion (of land). The parish consists of 2,893 acres (1,171 hectares) of land.

Manse of Kinfauns

The Manse of Kinfauns (also known as Kinfauns House) is an historic building located in Kinfauns, Perth and Kinross, Scotland. It was built in 1791 and is now a Category C listed building, It was formerly the manse for the nearby Kinfauns Parish Church. An addition, to the east, in 1840 was the work of William Macdonald Mackenzie, Perth's City Architect, who was born in St Martins, 4.5 miles (7.2 km) to the north. The Church of Scotland sold the property in 1958 to a private owner who remained there for 45 years. It was sold again in 2003. Loch Kaitre formerly occupied the site beside the manse. It was still present in 1838, but in the mid-19th century, a sinkhole appeared and the manse fell in, witnessed by the minister, who had just left his home en route to the church. The loch remained for a few generations, before being drained by a tenant later in the century for agricultural use of the land beneath it. It is possible Mackenzie's work in 1840 was actually repair work after this episode.
