Everything about Clunie totally explained
Clunie is a small settlement in
Perthshire,
Scotland, 7 km west of
Blairgowrie. It lies on the western shore of the Loch of Clunie. Near the village are the foundations of what is believed to have been be a castle used by
Kenneth MacAlpin, the first king of Scotland, as a base for hunting in the nearby royal forest of Clunie.
On a small island (formerly a
crannog) in the loch stand the remains of Clunie Castle, a tower house of the
Bishops of Dunkeld. The last pre-
Reformation bishop, Robert Crichton, passed the property to his near relative, Robert Crichton,
Lord Advocate of Scotland. His son James, the notable Scottish
polymath better known as the
Admirable Crichton, spent his childhood there.
Within the grounds of the parish church, rebuilt in 1840, stands a
mausoleum with a
romanesque doorway thought to be from an earlier
12th or
13th century church which stood on the same site.
