Amulree (Scottish Gaelic: Àth Maol Ruibhe, 'Ford of [St.] Maelrubha') is a small hamlet in Perth and Kinross, Scotland. It lies in hilly country on the A822 road, one kilometre (one-half mile) east of Loch Freuchie in Strathbraan, eight kilometres (5 mi) west of Dunkeld and ten kilometres (6 mi) north of Crieff.[1] It lies close to the geographical centre of Scotland.[2]
Its parish church contains copies of records of the large number of people who stayed there prior to mass emigration – mostly to North Easthope, Canada – in the early 19th century, where a settlement (Amulree, Ontario) was named after it.[3]: 132 The church is linked with Aberfeldy Parish Church. A history of the hamlet, titled Amulree and its Church, was written in 1990 by resident Nancy Countess of Enniskille, the American-born second wife of the 6th Earl of Enniskillen. A notable minister was James McLagan.
The River Braan flows past Amulree from Loch Freuchie.
