Rothiemurchus old parish existed initially as a distinct parish but was united in 1625 with it's neighbouring parish of Duthil. In 1830 a parliamentary church was erected on the site of the old church at Rothiemurchus, with part of the old building retained within the new. Later in 1833 Rothiemurchus was disjoined from Duthil by Act of Assembly, 1833, and formed into a quoad sacra parish, it was subsequently erected by the Court of Teinds on the 16th February 1859. The Kirk Session of Rothiemurchus, which sits within the Presbytery of Abernethy, was united in 1917 with Aviemore, under the name of Rothiemurchus and Aviemore. |
