Tullibardine Chapel is an ancient church building in Tullibardine, Perth and Kinross, Scotland. It is one of the most complete medieval churches in Scotland.[1] A large part of it dating to 1446,[2] it is now a scheduled monument.[3]
The chapel was built by Sir David Murray, 6th Baron of Tullibardine (formerly of Ochtertyre),[4] of Tullibardine Castle,[1] as a family chapel and burial site. Members of the Murray family (subsidiaries of the Dukes of Atholl)[1] were buried there until 1900. An armorial plaque on the north wall of the chancel displays the coat of arms of David and his wife, Isabel Stewart.[1]
The chapel was rebuilt around 1500 by William Murray, David's son,[5] who built the "part towards the west where his father's coat of arms is impaled".[5]
The chapel has remained unaltered to this day.[3][1]
