Hamlet in Perth & Kinross, Scotland
Pubil is a hamlet in Perth and Kinross, Scotland. It lies to the north of the River Lyon in Glen Lyon, about 1 km (0.62 mi) east of Lubreoch dam which raises the level of Loch Lyon as part of the Breadalbane Hydro-Electric Scheme.[1][2] It is made up of Pubil House and eight cottages, which were built by the Hydro Board to recompense the Megernie estate for the flooding of a large area when the hydro scheme was developed.[3]
On October 2025 it was the epicentre of an earthquake of magnitude 3.6, which was followed by a series of smaller quakes.[4][5][6] The British Geological Survey‘s Earthquake Information shows that in the 60 days from 22 October to 19 December there were a further 16 earthquakes centred on Pubil, out of a total of 60 earthquakes in and around the United Kingdom.[7]
Angus Macanleister, 7th chief of the Clan Fletcher, lived at Pubil in 1700.[8]
Pubil can be used as a starting point for walks including the ascent of the nearby 796 m (2,612 ft) Meall Phubaill (not to be confused with the 774 m (2,539 ft) Meall a’ Phubuill northwest of Fort William).[8][9][10] In 2007 competitors in the Lowe Alpine Mountain Marathon overnighted at a temporary campsite at Pubil.[11]
