Old Faskally Farm Church is a medieval church situated in Perthshire, Scotland, approximately 100 metres west-south-west of Old Faskally Farm. The building stands on bedrock formed from the Argyll Group, a Neoproterozoic sequence of metamorphic rocks comprising psammite, semipelite and pelite that underlies this part of the southern Highlands. These ancient metamorphic strata, folded and altered over geological time, provide the foundation upon which this ecclesiastical structure was established.
The church represents the continuation of Christian worship in this rural Perthshire landscape during the medieval period, when parish churches formed the spiritual and social centres of dispersed farming communities. Its position reflects medieval settlement patterns in the area, situated in close proximity to but distinctly separated from the adjacent farm, a spatial relationship common to Scottish rural parishes of the period.
The monument is protected by Historic Environment Scotland under the statutory designation SM9566, recognising its significance as a surviving example of medieval ecclesiastical architecture in Perthshire. The church contributes to our understanding of religious and settlement history across the Highlands and the enduring relationship between communities and their environment in this region.
