[Situation] In the SE [South East] portion of Perthshire
This is a detached portion of the parish of Dron. Its figure is oblong lying nearly in a NE [North East] and SW. [South West] direction. It is isolated from the rest of the parish being surrounded by the parish of Dunbarney on the north and east and the parish of Forgandenny on the south and west.
The whole of this district except a small portion belongs to the estate of Glenearn and on that account it is often referred to as a district by the name Glenearn but it is never Known as Eccesiamagirdle as stated in most of the published accounts.

[continued from page 3]
There have been in former times 2 small chapels in this parish. One of these which stood in the east corner of the parish is now totally in ruins no vestige of it remaining except some part of the foundation below ground and human skulls and bones which are sometimes dug up or discovered in the face of a bank where the soil is washed away by the impetuous torrents of the Farg on the verge of which it has stood just at the place where it issues from the mountains into the plain. The other is in the west end of the parish and still remains in a ruinous state the walls are tolerably entire with an enclosed burial ground around it which is still the place of interment for many families in the parish and neighbourhood. This part of the parish which is entirely separated from the rest by an interjacent part of the parish of Dunbarnie bears the name of Ecclesiamagirdle, the origin of which is uncertain, but probably has been given in honour of some saint; some explain it to signify "The Church of St. Magdalen". These chapels may probably have been places of worship erected for the conveniency of the religious in this corner who were dependent on the Abbey of Lindores.

This name signifying "The Church of the Girdle" applies to a small Chapel on the Estate of Glenearn It is in a ruinous State the four walls alone remaining and is surrounded by a Graveyard, The name is supposed to have orriginated from the using of a Girdle instead of a Bell to call the people to worship. |

This House which is situated close to the Chapel is also in a ruinous State, The date of its erection is supposed to have been the same as the Chapel in the year 1636.
N.B. The date 1636 is evidently incorrect as applied to the old chapel as this was an appendage of Lindores Abbey - see extract in opposite page. |
