Parish Church

Grandtully has a Church of Scotland parish church; it is now part of Grantully, Logierait and Strathtay Parish (within the Church of Scotland's Presbytery of Dunkeld and Meigle).

St Mary's church

In Nether Pitcairn, 3.2 km south-west of Grandtully, there is a church built by Alexander Stewart of Grandtully in, or shortly before, 1533.[2]

It is a low and outwardly unassuming white washed building that contains a wooden tunnel vault ceiling with tempera paintings from the early 17th century commissioned by William Stewart. The paintings show scenes and persons from the bible intermixed with the coats of arms of kings and noblemen, and in addition an abundance of birds, fruits and angels, all depicted in a renaissance style with cartouches and imitated metal work. The paintings were restored in about 1950.[3]

Grandtully Castle

Dating to 1560, although an earlier castle stood around 1 mile (1.5 kilometres) east and dates from 1414; only its foundations remain.^{[citation needed]}
