Muthill Information

A village of Muthill, pronounced 'mew-thill' in central Perthshire, situated in the heart of Strathearn on the A822 road, 3 miles (5 km) south of Crieff.

Muthill old parish church

Largely destroyed by Jacobites in 1716, it rose from the ashes in 1742 with the building of the military road. One landmark that survived unscathed was the Parish Church with its 11th Century tower. Designated a conservation area, the village has nearly 100 listed buildings which include some of the finest examples of 18th century Scottish vernacular architecture.

The Highlandman's Green is a relic of the area's cattle droving days, this being a resting stance en route to the Falkirk Tryst. At its southern corner is the Dog's Head Well with its ogee top and sculpted dog's head. Local residents have included the 17th-century Doune gunmaker Thomas Cadell and Helen Gloag born in 1750, ended up as Empress of Morocco.

The village has a bowling green and a 9-hole golf course. Nearby is Drummond Castle with its magnificent Italian-style garden.
