Guthrie Collegiate Aisle is a Late Medieval addition to Guthrie parish church in Angus, Scotland, constructed as a chantry chapel and burial aisle. The structure dates from the fifteenth century and reflects the wealth and piety of the Guthrie family, who were prominent landowners in the region. The aisle was designed to serve as a collegiate foundation where priests would have sung masses for the souls of deceased family members, a common practice amongst the Scottish nobility and gentry during the Late Medieval period. The physical fabric of the aisle survives as part of the wider parish church complex and remains an important example of Late Medieval ecclesiastical patronage and family commemoration in rural Angus.
