Background
Architecture
House]] Ochtertyre House, the Murray family seat in Perthshire from 1784 to 1790, is located here, overlooking the loch from an elevated position. Its grounds feature a designed landscape. The house is a Georgian Category A listed building. Now a private residence, it has served various purposes over the years, including as a school (Seymour Lodge, 1939–1965), a theatre, and a restaurant. The Murray family mausoleum, built in 1809, now stands on the site of the former parish church.
Description
Immediately following the Battle of Knock Mary on 21 October 1490, the Drummonds and Campbells set fire to the old church of Monzievaird, killing approximately twenty members of the Murray family. Upon hearing of the massacre, James IV of Scotland, ordered the arrest of the main perpetrators, David Drummond and Duncan Campbell of Dunstaffnage. They were executed in Stirling shortly thereafter. The nation was horrified by the incident, which was widely regarded at the time as sacrilegious.
