Its parish church contains copies of records of the large number of people who stayed there prior to mass emigration – mostly to North Easthope, Canada – in the early 19th century. The church is linked with Aberfeldy Parish Church. A history "Amulree and its Church" was written by a resident Nancy Enniskillen in 1990. A notable minister was James McLagan. The River Braan flows past Amulree from Loch Freuchie.
