Rev. [Reverend] P. Bartney Manse of Ruthven
Mr. Young Milton of Ruthven
036 A small but neat edifice recently erected upon the same site of the former church. "It is commonly said that the parish of Ruthven originally formed a portion of Alyth, and was erected into a separate cure by the Earl Crawford for the accommodation of his vassals. So far, however, from being the fact, there was a Kirk at Ruthven at least a century and a half before the Lindsays had anything to do with the district; for so early as the year 1180 Robert de Lundres, natural son to William the Lion, gave the patronage and tythes of the church of Ruthven to the Monastery of Arbroath. All subsequent history of the church is lost" Jarvies, Land of the Lindsays
