Fortingall Churchyard in Perth and Kinross is associated with St Fillan, a 7th-century Irish monk and healer, and is traditionally believed to be the site of a holy well or sacred spring linked to his miracles and cures for ailments. The area is steeped in early Christian tradition, with the nearby Fortingall Yew said to be among the oldest trees in Europe, adding to the site's spiritual and historical significance.
