Interior of East End.] is not accessible, but it appears to be vaulted with a barrel vault. Another burial vault occupies [Illustration: FIG. 1438.--Aberuthven Church. North Window in East Wall.] the centre of the building. The church was a cell of Inchaffray, and was dedicated to St. Cathan. The existing structure is evidently of late date. ST. MOLOC’S CHURCH, ALYTH, PERTHSHIRE. Alyth is now a busy manufacturing town, and forms the terminus of a small branch line off the main railway between Perth and Forfar. It stands on the north side of Strathmore, at the point where the hills begin to rise, and the houses of the old part of the town are picturesquely terraced on the hillside. On one of these terraces may be seen the ruins of the ancient [Illustration: FIG. 1439.--St. Moloc’s Church, Alyth. Plan.] church of St. Moloc or Malachi, according to the _Statistical Account_, but Mr. Muir calls it St. Ninian’s. The original fair of the village is still called St. Mologue’s and the date corresponds with the day of St. Moloc. Before the Reformation the benefice of Alyth was attached to one of the prebends of Dunkeld, and the patronage was exercised by the Bishop. [Illustration: FIG. 1440.--St Moloc’s Church, Alyth. Arcade.] The old church was demolished about 1845, having been unroofed at that date when the last _Statistical Account_ was written. The portion which still survives (Fig. 1439) in the middle of the churchyard consists of the south arcade of the nave and part of the chancel. The arcade (Fig. 1440) has plain octagonal pillars and three round arches with broad splays. The caps and bases are moulded, and indicate a late date. The chancel is surrounded with a plain wall 6 to 7 feet high, and has a piscina in the south wall. AUCHTERARDER CHURCH, PERTHSHIRE. This old church is situated a little to the north of the town, and is surrounded by an old churchyard. It is densely ivy clad and generally [Illustration: FIG. 1441.--Auchterarder Church. Plan.] concealed by vegetation, and thoroughly neglected. The church (Fig. 1441) measures about 81 feet long by about 24 feet 6 inches wide externally. There is almost no architectural feature now [Illustration: FIG. 1442. Auchterarder Church. Piscina.] [Illustration: FIG. 1443.--Auchterarder Church. View from South-West.]
