Kinkell Associate Later United Presbyterian Church
History— In the parish of Madderty, there was disagreement between the patron of the parish and the people as to who their new minister should be in 1737. In July 1740 the people formally acceded to the Associate Anti-burgher Presbytery and were joined into an Association with the Seceders in several other parishes, under the designation of "The Societies of Strathearn". A place of worship was procured at Kinkell, in the neighboring parish of Trinity-Gask. When the minister was terminated a large portion of his people adhered to him and a separate place of worship built in Auchterarder North where he ministered to them until 1816.
