Pitlochry Church of Scotland

Pitlochry Church of Scotland is a stone building completed in 1884 with a distinctive bell tower and rounded arches that give it its characteristic appearance. The interior contains elaborately decorated stained glass windows depicting biblical scenes.

The building was constructed in 1884 by architects Charles and Leslie Ower following a fire that destroyed the earlier Moulin Kirk. The congregation itself reaches back much further to the 7th century.

The church serves as a gathering space where local residents come together for worship and community events. It plays an active role in the social life of Pitlochry, hosting regular meetings and celebrations that bring neighbours together.

The church is located on Church Road in the town centre and visitors can easily find it by foot. It is best to visit during daylight hours when the building is open for services or community gatherings.

The church grounds feature a memorial to Alexander Duff, who became the first Church of Scotland missionary to serve in India. His legacy connects this quiet Scottish town to a broader story of global missionary work.
