It is the site of St Bride's Kirk, the original church of Blair Atholl parish.

This probably early Christian foundation was replaced by a new building in Blair Atholl village in the 19th century.

There are substantial remains of the unroofed original church, set within an unwalled graveyard, though its western tower has been removed.

The ancient building is flanked on the south side by a 'laird's aisle' of 16th century date, which encloses several monuments of the family of the Dukes of Atholl.

The modern burial ground of the ducal family lies within railings beside the mound on which the church is set.
