The Killin area abounds with Celtic legends and other historical associations . Killin Church was rebuilt in 1744, replacing earlier buildings dating to the the 9th Century. The font is believed to be one thousand years old and is the only seven-sided font discovered in Scotland. The first Minister of the new church was the Rev. James Stewart who translated the New Testament into Scottish Gaelic and whose ministry had far reaching consequences for the whole of Scotland. Nearby is the small but attractive Episcopal Church of St. Fillan, built of corrugated iron.
Visitors are welcome to both.
Close by the private road to Kinnell House there is an ancient stone circle. The McNab Clan lived in Glen Dochart and Strathfillan for 800 years and their burial ground may be visited on the little island of Innis Buidhe situated at the bridge over the Falls of Dochart. Keys for the gate are available from the Information Centre. The ruins of Finlarig Castle, situated just north of the village, was once the home of Black Duncan of Cowal, one of the most ruthless of the Campbell Chiefs. In the grounds of the Castle can be seen the remains of the beheading pit.
