Benchill, an estate in Redgorton parish, Perthshire. It belonged to the Gowrie family, who generally were provosts of Perth. Forfeited to the Crown after the Gowrie conspiracy, it passed to the Arnots, who also long were provosts of Perth, and from them to the noblefamily of Nairn; and, with the exception of Nether Benchill, it was again forfeited to the Crown after the rebellion of 1745.
