Boharm is a civil parish in the Scottish council area of Moray, in the former counties of Banffshire and Morayshire.

Settlements
Mulben is a hamlet situated at a crossroads that forms the intersection of the A95 road and the B9103.

It lies on the Burn of Mulben, 6.5 km (4 miles) west of Keith. Upon the arrival of the railway in 1858 linking it with Keith in the east and Elgin to the west it developed allowing the establishment of a primary school and a small number of services. Although the railway still remains, the station closed in 1964 and the building is now a private dwelling.

Close by is the Glentauchers Distillery to the east (opened in 1898) and the Auchroisk distillery to the west (opened in 1974).

To the north of Mulben lies the extensive complex of bond sheds that form Malcolmburn, owned by and for the maturation of Chivas Regal. A small farm upon the road that leads in that northerly direction called House of Mulben has also become a tourist attraction by offering such activities as archery, clay pigeon shooting, off road driving with Land Rover Defenders, zorbing and the chance to fish in a small, private lake.

It is one of the few locations within the United Kingdom which cannot receive any broadband services, though provisions have been made by Highlands and Islands Enterprise (through the Digital Scotland programme) to consider upgrading the exchange to provide fibre broadband services.

Maggieknockater (Magh an Fhucadair in Scottish Gaelic) is a hamlet on the A95 road between Craigellachie and Mulben..

Churches
A medieval chapel and burial ground were located close to Gauldwell Castle. In 1618 a new parish church and burial ground was established about 2 miles to the north east, near Maggieknockater.

After the union of Boharm parish with a portion of Dundurcas parish, a new church was constructed in 1793 near the centre of the new enlarged parish. Portions of the east wall substantially remodelled (possibly by William Robertson of Elgin) in earlier 19th century as a burial enclosure for families of Arndilly and Auchlunkart who are commemorated by mural plaques.

The 1793 church was a simple rectangular building, with porches and a vestry added by William Robertson in 1828. It ceased to be used for worship in 1974, with the former Free Church in Mulben being used thereafter. The building, originally listed in 1972 as Category B, was recategorised in 1988 as C(S)
