The chapel was built by Sir David Murray, Baron of Tullibardine (formerly of Ochtertyre),[4] of Tullibardine Castle,[1] as a family chapel and burial site. Members of the Murray family (subsidiaries of the Dukes of Atholl)[1] were buried there until 1900. An armorial plaque on the north external wall of the chancel displays the coat of arms of David and his wife, Isabel Stewart.[1]
The chapel was rebuilt or extended with transepts and a small tower around 1500 by David's grandsons, William Murray (died 1513),[5] who built the "part towards the west where his father's coat of arms is impaled,"[5] and Andrew Murray. Arms on the south transept gable relate to the marriage of Andrew Murray and Margaret Barclay. They were ancestors of the Murray of Balvaird family.[6]
The chapel has remained unaltered to this day.[3][1]
