Orwell Parish Church

The church sits quietly on the outskirts of Kinross, a modest stone building that's been standing watch over the parish for centuries. Inside, there's genuine medieval work - the sort of thing you either find absorbing or walk through in five minutes flat. The nave has character without being showy about it, and if you're into local history, the gravestones outside tell proper stories about families who've lived in Perthshire for generations.

It's really one for the history-minded rather than casual tourists. Kids will get restless quickly unless they're the type who enjoys hunting for old inscriptions. The setting is pleasant enough - rural Perthshire surroundings - but there's no café or facilities to speak of, so don't bank on making an afternoon of it.

If you're based at Gallowhill Caravan & Camping Park just down the road, it's worth a quiet walk over, particularly if you're exploring the wider area around Kinross. The park itself is reasonably priced and gives you decent access to the local countryside. Wild Goose Glamping is slightly further out and more upmarket if you want the glamorous version of camping. Either way, the church works as a stop-off during a broader wander rather than a destination in itself. Free to visit, naturally, and no specific opening hours to worry about - that's the advantage of rural parish churches.
