Trinity Gask lies on the Gask Ridge, 4 miles north east of Auchterarder. A Roman road with associated signal stations traverses the ridge to the north. Trinity Gask and Kinkell parishes were united about the middle of the 17th century. Trinity Gask church was dedicated to the Holy Trinity, and beside it was the Trinity Well. The church belonged to the Abbey of Inchaffray. The union of the parishes is also said to have taken place in 1639. The Kirk session at was the court of the parish. The session was made up of the minister and the land owners and business men of the parish, chosen to serve on the session. The Kirk session at Trinity Gask dealt with moral issues, minor criminal cases, matters of the poor and education, matters of discipline, and the general concerns of the parish. Kirk session records may also mention births, marriages, and deaths. In the parish there was disagreement between the patron of the parish and the people as to who their new minister should be in 1737. In July 1740 the people formally acceded to the Associate Anti burgher Presbytery and were joined into an Association with the Seceders in several other parishes, under the designation of " The Societies of Strathearn ". A place of worship was procured at Kinkell, in the neighboring parish of Trinity Gask. When the minister was terminated a large portion of his people adhered to him and a separate place of worship built in Auchterarder North where he ministered to them until 1816.
