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.
