et on the edge of the Scottish Highlands, Muthill is the perfect gateway
to some of Scotland's most beautiful scenery. This picturesque conservation
village has a wealth of "listed" buildings, including some of the
finest examples of 18th century Scottish vernacular architecture.
The Parish Church at Muthill, with its 11th century tower and 15th century nave and choir, is an impressive sight. The graveyard too has some very interesting gravestones, several dating back to the 17th century.
ituated on the northern outskirts of Muthill you will find the magnificent
Drummond Castle Gardens,
considered by many to be one of the finest formal gardens in Europe. First laid out
in the 17th century these beautiful gardens are a sight not to be missed,
with their ancient yew tree hedges and the sundial erected in 1630.

bit out of the ordinary, you should visit Britain's first seismological station at Earthquake House. Recently refurbished and situated in the nearby village of Comrie, this will provide a most interesting visit! For those wishing further information we have an interesting geology section.
