Background
History
The Hay family were early landowners in the area. In 1633, Sir George Hay, lord chancellor of Scotland, was made Earl of Kinnoull by Charles I. He died the following year, aged 64, and was interred at Kinnoull Parish Church, in which a monument was erected in his honour. Kinnoull Castle formerly stood on the banks of the Tay in the Barnhill area of Kinnoull. The area is now a garden.
Architecture
Although the area is largely residential, Kinnoull is also the home of St Mary's Monastery, which was established in 1869 as the first Roman Catholic monastery to be built in Scotland since the Reformation.
