Only one wall survives of a 13th-century hospital founded by William de Brechin. The hospital was established in 1267 as a home for the poor, under a master and chaplains. The hospital remained in operation until at least 1636 when the office of master was merged with the role of headmaster at the nearby grammar school.

In 1446 Sir David Murray built a chantry chapel at Tullibardine, near his fortified house (now vanished). The Murrays were ancestors of the Dukes of Atholl, and at Tullibardine they wanted to provide for priests to say prayers for the souls of their family. Oddly, the formalities of founding a college of priests here were never formalised, perhaps because Sir David died in 1452.
