Wester Tullich is a copper mine and associated remains located in Perthshire, Scotland, approximately 700 metres north-east of the settlement. The site exploits deposits within an unnamed igneous intrusion of felsic rock that formed during the Early Devonian period, when molten material intruded into the surrounding Late Silurian strata. This geological setting provided the conditions for copper mineralisation that later attracted mining activity.
The mine workings and their attendant structures represent the industrial response to these natural mineral resources. Copper mining in the Scottish Highlands exploited both primary and secondary deposits, with activity often concentrated in areas of favourable geology such as this igneous complex. The felsic composition of the intrusion would have hosted copper mineralisation amenable to historical extraction methods.
Wester Tullich is protected as a scheduled monument by Historic Environment Scotland under the reference SM9163. This designation recognises the archaeological significance of both the mine workings themselves and the associated remains on the site, which together preserve evidence of past extractive industry and the relationship between geology, resources and human settlement in the Perthshire landscape.
