What is recorded here

Fortingall Churchyard's old baptismal font is associated with St Fillan, a 7th-century Irish monk and saint linked to the early Christianization of Perthshire. Local tradition holds that the font, possibly of Pictish origin, was used for holy water and baptisms, and its site is connected to broader pilgrimage practices in the region.
