Balthayock, a detached section of Kinnoul parish, Perthshire. Lying ½ mile E of the main body of the parish, it has an extreme length from NW to SE of 27/8 miles, and varies in breadth from 5 furlongs to 1 mile. Balthayock House in the S, 3 miles E of Perth, dates partly from 1578, partly from some two centuries earlier; it is the seat of Wm. Lowson, Esq. Balthayock Castle, close by, is the ruin of an oblong tower, supposed to have belonged to the Knights Templars.
