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, where a settlement (Amulree, Ontario) was named after it.{{cite book |last=Johnston |first=William |date=1903 |title=History of the County of Perth: From 1825 to 1902 |location=Stratford |publisher=W.

A history of the hamlet, titled Amulree and its Church, was written in 1990 by resident Nancy Countess of Enniskille, the American-born second wife of the 6th Earl of Enniskillen. A notable minister was James McLagan.

The River Braan flows past Amulree from Loch Freuchie.
