Genealogy.com Mutch Forum
Genealogy.com forum for the Mutch surname. Doesn't seem to have been active of late, but you might find some useful bits and pieces in there.
Descendants of Alexander Mutch
Excellent site giving a complete lineage of Alexander Mutch, first wife Lydia Crowell and second wife Catherine Nicholson, Prince Edward Island. Alexander was born in 1756 in (or around) Aberdeen.
Dave Hunter has done a great job with this site but it hasn't been updated in a while and doesn't use "https" so you might have a problem getting it to load in your browser.
Genealogy of English Mutches
If you are not able to find your Mutch ancestors here then maybe they belonged to the family lines based in Chesire, England. This very well maintained site has the best listing of these I have found.
And if anyone can explain the two concentrations of the Mutch surname in two diverse locations in the UK, I'd love to hear from you.
Mutches linked to Diack family
I came across a number of marriages between Mutches and Diacks which led me to this website.
However this is another site that doesn't use "https" so you might have a problem getting it to load in your browser.

List of Old Parish Registers - National Records of Scotland
Parish boundaries and naming has been changing (and continue to change) since they were first created. Therefore, for consistency in searching, I have tried to use those defined in the "List of the Old Parish Registers" published by the General Register Office for Scotland in June 1975 (Revised March 2008). This is a link to the latest online updates.

A site detailing the family history of Jim Allan. Although it isn't active it contains a huge ammount of information mostly for families in Peterhead and the surrounding areas. There are several Mutches listed there.
