" St Serff's ,which was one of the three parishes that were united together at the
Reformation (and now forms the parish of Redgorton) was formerly the parish to which the
barony of Huntingtower belonged. Abbot Milne, in his history of the bishops of Dunkeld, gives a curious account
of the reason why that church was abandoned as the place of worship of the ancient family of Ruthven to whom the barony of Huntingtower belonged, and who had their residence in that ancient castle on the opposite side of the river Almond. He tells us "that a son of Lord Ruthven having come to this church to be baptized, was drowned in the River Almond in returning home, and that from that time the Church of St Mary's at Tippermuir, became the parish church of the whole lands on that side of the River"
