062 | A small oval-shaped Knoll on which is situated the parish grave-yard and having the parish manse at its south base. It cannot be ascertained whether this knoll is a natural feature or an artificial one, but its appearance would indicate the former to be the case, it forms part of the minister's glebe and is the property of the Church of Scotland. "In the lives of the Bishops of Dunkeld, (a M.S. [manuscript] written by Alexander Mylne, Canon of Dunkeld), it is related that Bishop Brown, in the year 1500, divided the parish of Little Dunkeld into the old parish of Little Dunkeld and the parish of Caputh; and "at Caputh he built on his own charges, a quire, with painted ceiling and glazed windows. He gave for the support of the vicar, a vicarage, which had been formerly united to his own see, four acres of glebeland, and the rising ground, called the Mute-hill to build a church upon."
