Loch Kaitre - Izeria

Loch Kaitre (possibly Loch Kaitres) was a loch in Kinfauns, Perth and Kinross, Scotland. The loch formerly occupied the site beside the Manse of Kinfauns. 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.

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.
