Moulin Kirk is situated in the centre of the conservation village of Moulin, near Pitlochry, Perthshire.

The present Kirk was rebuilt in 1875 after a devastating fire.

Its main features were an aisle which approached the Pulpit and Communion table from both sides, plus a superb area of galleried pews accessed from staircases by each of the two side entrances.

Collections at The Fergusson Gallery principally focus on the life and work of the eminent Scottish Colourist John Duncan Fergusson and his partner, and modern dance pioneer and artist, Margaret Morris. This significant collection reflects their artistic output, and also includes rich archives, which give an unusually in-depth picture of this creative couple.

Sir Malcolm Drummond fought by Robert the Bruce’s side at Bannockburn in 1314 and was granted lands in Strathearn.

The castle was built there in 1491 by Sir John Drummond. His daughter was the lover of James IV; it is rumoured that they even married and had a daughter. In order to form an alliance with England, Scotland’s nobles wanted James IV to marry Margaret Tudor, the sister of the English king Henry VII. Margaret Drummond was in the way of this plan and along with her two sisters was murdered with poisoned fruit.
