Tibbermore is a small village situated about 40NaN0 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

Docherty Midland Coaches' route 155 service was withdrawn in July 2023 (during Scottish Bus Week)[5] due to a decline in usage.[6] This left residents of Tibbermore with no bus service.
