Kinfauns is a village in Perth and Kinross, Scotland, at the western end of the Carse of Gowrie, 3 miles (4.8 km) east of Perth.[1]

## Background

[edit]

The village is home to Kinfauns Castle, a Category A listed building erected in 1825.[2] and the grounds are included in the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland.[3]

The parish was the home of Loch Kaitre, which stood on the site of the Manse of Kinfauns. It was still present in 1838,[4] but in the mid-19th century, a sinkhole appeared and the manse fell in, witnessed by the minister, who had just left his home en route to the church. The loch remained for a few generations,[5] before being drained by a tenant later in the century for agricultural use of the land beneath it.[6]

From 1847 to 1950 the village was served by Kinfauns railway station, originally on the Dundee and Perth Railway.[7]
