[House] Old Stat. Acct [Statistical Account] 097 [Situation] In the central portion of the parish. This place appears to be the site of some very ancient and large building. James Malliss who occupied the farm of Munday for many years dug up the foundation and took from it between two and three hundred cart loads of stones. No other remains were seen here except foundations in the memory of the present or past generation. The above old man states that when he was a boy it consisted of a shapeless mound of clay and stones but partly covered over with grass and there were distinct traces of earthen mounds around it. He found traces of lime and sand in the foundations but not to a great extent. The stones were but slightly dressed resembling rude Ashlar work. He cannot tell as to the thickness of the walls as he found the stones in large masses some places the face of a wall distinctly traceable but the other side of it broken up and no way traceable. But whatever building it was, it was of considerable extent as it occupied a large area of ground. One would be led to suppose it to have been a well constructed fort from the name, but the opinion of the farmer who dug up the last remains of it is entirely against this supposition.

OS1/25/1/40 [Page] 40 In the church yard of Aberdalgy and on the spot where the old church stood there is a monument of black marble with the inscription in Saxon Capitals "Hic jacet Dominus Willielmus Oliphant Dominus de Aberdalgy que obiit anno mill ccc.vigesimo nono. Orate pro anima ejus." This perhaps was that brave man the dupy governor of Stirling castle who when summoned in the name of Edward I. to surrender it made that noble reply, "I have never sworn fealty to Edward but I have sworn to Keep the castle and therefore must wait the orders of my constituents" and who when the Castle was besieged by Edward in person and his whole army had the courage to defend it for full three months; though before the commencement of the siege all the rest of the Kingdom had been forced to submit to Edwards power. Douglas in his peerage says I Know not on what authority, that Ou's was the deputy governor's son; and Crawford in his that he was his grandson. Both agree that it was this Sir William Oliphant who subscribed along with several other scottish barons this famous letter to the Pope which asserts with so much spirit the independence of Scotland Old Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] vol. [volume] 18 p. [page] 156-7 Note.- The above extract agrees pretty nearly with the tradition concerning this monument which is still in the church yard. It is a large heavy slab of black marble, or rather a stone resembling a sort of blackish limestone. on the middle of it is sculpted in basso relievo the rude figures of a Knight in armour. surrounded overhead and on each side with Gothic ornaments some of which is broken. on one side it is a basso relievo figure of a Knight in minature with cross legs in allusion I suppose to some one of the family who served in the crusades or holy wars. There appears at present no insciptionon this stone,but there has been a large hewn stone of hard sandstone placed over it supported by pillars in a table like form of modern construction in order to preserve it from further injury. This is said to have been done by one of the Oliphants of Gask and on this modern slab is the inscription transcribed in the above extracts. This monument is usually called " Lord Oliphants monument" but on examining the Scottish peerage it will be seen that the oliphants has not the title of Lords or barons untill long after the date ascribed to this stone. It is therefore thought proper to write it simply "Oliphant's Monument" on plan J.C.

OS1/25/1/43 [Page] 43 Parish of Aberdalgie -- Sheet 97 No. 16 Trace 4 Besides Duplin Castle, the family of Oliphant had a house close by the Church of Aberdalgy the foundations of which may still be traced. Old Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] vol. [volume]18 p. [page] 157 The Lords Oliphant of Bachilton were for centuries the feudal lords of Aberdalgie. A full Account of this ancient family is given in Douglas's and Crawford's peerage New Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] Particular Enquiry has been made as to what sort of building the ancient seat of the Oliphants was which stood on the site of Aberdalgie House. Within the memory of the oldest inhabitants there were no remains of it except the foundations which were very extensive, An old man named Andrew Oswald labourer to Lord Dupplin assisted in the digging out these foundations for the building of Aberdalgie House and he states that the walls were 5 o 6 feet thick, and that people always in speaking of it called it the "Old Castle", never Aberdalgie house, the latter is a new name given to the new house by William Lorimer, this gentleman states as his opinion that it was anciently called simply, "Aberdalgie" but it appears from all that can be learned of it by the tradition of the locality that it was a castle. Among those consulted are two old men at present living in the village of New Scone both of them above 80 years of age and who were born in the parish and and lived there untill lately and whose ancestors were residents of the parish for many generations past, and they state the they "always heard it called Lord Aberdalgie's Castle or palace and it is their belief that it was at one time Aberdalgie Castle", when it was the only baronial residence in Aberdalgie Mr Lorimer states that the buildings here must have been very extensive as he dug up foundations all round his house to a considerable distance

Some portion of the walls were left standing untill about 30 or 40 years ago and at present there are no vestiges whatsoever to beseen of it, not even a trace of the foundations, All the people of the neighbourhood speak of it as being a very ancient church, and as being the parish church before the Reformation.

Factor Aberdalgie House Andrew Oswald Dupplin 109 [Situation] Partly in S W [South West] corner of this and in the northern portion of Forteviot ph [parish] This place is generally believed to be the site of the Battle of Dupplin. All the old inhabitants speak of the park in which the Stone cross stands as the field in which the battle was fought or at least where the attack was first made by Baliols army. but on Stobbies map of Perthshire surveyed about the year 1800 the site is shewn immediately on the east side of the Cross park. which shews that at least 60 years ago the site was pointed out much about the same as at present. but on close enquiry nothing can be elicited as to whether the belief is derived from tradition or otherwise. It would appear that it is a conjecture or supposition on account that it is opposite the part of the river that is fordable and where Baliols army must have crossed from Forteviot side. and it is the ground most likely on which the scottish army would ly encamped as it the brow of a rising ground above the river, and expands northwards into a moderately level plain for a considerable distance.

OS1/25/1/52 [Page] 52 Duplin or Dupplin a parish in Perthshire united in 1618 to that of Aberdalgie. This was the scene of an engagement between Edward Baliol and the Earl of Marr on the 12th or as some say the 18th of August 1332. Baliol having landed near Kinghorn and routed the the troops under the Earl of Fife who opposed his landing marched northward and encamped on the Millar's Acre at Forteviot. The Earl of Mar heard at Perth. That all there fays Cummyn ware To Fortewyot and thain thare Had lwgyd in a lytil plas The Mylmary's Akre it Callyd was And then sayis bath hors and man In that aKyre war lwgyd than. Wyntour B. VIII C.26 V 67 The Earl of Marr was encamped with a numerous army on a rising ground on the opposite side of the river near to Dupplin. The Contemptible appearance of Baliols forces confined within such narrow bounds proved a snare to the royal army who laughed at the idea of danger from a mere handful of enemies. Total carelessness was the natural consequence and ere day dawned the English had crossed the river and attacking an army that had abandoned itself to intemperance easily put it to a com -plete route. Some monuments of antiquity appear in the neighbourhood but whether they have been erected as memorials of this disastrous battle or claim an earlier era is uncertain. There is a stone cross quite entire a good way up the acclivity on the opposite bank of the Earn almost straight north from the ford by which Baliol's army passed the river and another on the south of Forteviot upon a rising ground called Dronachy lying broken over at the pedestal on which are many

OS1/25/1/56 [Page] 56 Duplin Castle, the Earl of Kinnoul's principal seat stands on the rising ground and is on all sides surrounded with the oldest and the finest of those trees. The rich and beautifully variegated prospect which it commands, and the great extent of the adjacent plantations and pleasure grounds give it a manifest and an acknowledged superiority to far the greatest part of the seats of our Scottish nobility. The house is a very good one. Not the tower only as Pennant says but all the south part of the house being the full half of it, is evidently part of the old castle. The North front and two wings were built by the present Earl's great grandfather, in the years 1688, 1689, and 1690 This front has an elegant appearance. &c. Old Stat. Acct.
