Croftanrigh
This is as the Southern writes it - and he pronounces it Croft'an'righ, placing the acccent with Syllable 'an' -- Could we follow the Gaelic in Perthshire and write it 'Croft an Righ'
No when not written so in the locality
From the idea entertained of this Stone of its being of a Druidical origin it is apparently a memorial of some event of ancient days. Such in a rude age was the only means of transmitting to posterity some record of an event which was thought worthy of remembrance. But it appears that there is no tradition of true origin of the above stone. My idea is that it is one of the Class of memorials usually called Cat Stanes so common in many parts of Scotland. It had therefore better be written simply "Standing Stone" in Old English. |

[Additional quotation:]
"At Balthayock the Seat of a branch of the ancient family of Blair are the remains of a castle bearing
marks of great antiquity and supposed to have belonged to the Knights Templars. It consists of an
oblong tower of about 50 feet in height and the sides 52 and 37 feet. The walls are still entire and
of prodigious thickness. Its position is very commanding cresting the top of a deep ravine which
the frowning mass as seen from the Carse of Gowrie appears to overhang. The present mansion
house of Balthayock which stands within a few feet of the tower had been built at differ-
ent periods and is of considerable antiquity. The more modern part bears the date 1578
while that to which it is attached is supposed to be of a date about two centuries earlier
There is nothing striking in the character of the edifice beyond the Substantialness which marks
buildings of that period." New Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] of Perthshire Page 938 |

There is no explanation set out by O.S. officers for altering the spelling from that of the local informants to that provided subsequently by Baxter Gray of Broughty(?) Ferry. In any event, 'Sitmelane' is the form actually used on published map Sheets 98-8 (1:2500) and 98 (1:10,560).
The index entry has also been altered from Sitmelane to Sitmylane. |
