Tibbermore is a small village situated about 4 miles (6 kilometres) west of Perth, Scotland. The parish extends to Aberuthven.[1]

Previously known as Tippermuir, it was the site of the Battle of Tippermuir in 1644, between the Marquis of Montrose's army and an army of Covenanters.[2]

The church building, dating from 1632 and enlarged in 1789[3] is in a poor state of repair. Restoration was being considered in 2007.[4] The church building is now only used occasionally for weddings and funerals.

Tibbermore has several listed buildings.

Public transport

[edit]

Docherty Midland Coaches' route 155 service was withdrawn in July 2023 (during Scottish Bus Week)[5] due to a decline in usage.[6] This left residents of Tibbermore with no bus service.[5]
