Milnathort is a small town in the parish of Orwell in the county of Kinross-shire, Scotland and since 1996, the local council area of Perth and Kinross.
It is situated amidst countryside at the foot of the Ochil Hills,[2] and near the north shore of Loch Leven.
The name comes from the Gaelic maol coirthe meaning "bare hill of the standing stones".
[3] Milnathort's amenities are typical of a small Scottish town with a nine-hole golf course, a park, countryside bike path, primary school, a range of pubs, cafés and a shop selling ice cream.
[7] The manse was erected by the Free church in 1850 to house Rev James Thornton (1791-1874).
