The village of Aberuthven is situated on the A824 just off the A9 two miles from Auchterarder. Local folk still know the village as “Smiddy Haugh”, reference to a smithy and the flat land by the river-side. A Secession church was founded in Aberuthven which, after the 1929 Scottish church union, became a parish church quoad sacra.
The eighteenth century building was sold and converted as a residence in 1988. The present church building was dedicated on Easter Sunday 1991 |
The remains of the medieval parish church, St. Kattan's, are to the west of the village.
