062 | This name is applied to a neat and commodious dwellinghouse, two storeys, slated, and in good repair - suitable offices attached. Property and residence of Sir William D. Stewart, Bart. [Baronet], Murthly Castle. "It may be mentioned, that, "towards the beginning of last century, John Stewart Esq. of Grandtully, mortified the sum of 20,000 merks Scots, for the support of twelve poor men on his estate, of the Scotch Episcopal communion, appointing his own heirs, and the heirs of three other families allied to his own, administrators of this fund. About 1740, a building was erected for the objects of the benefaction in the district of Murthly; but for certain reasons, the original plan was not carried out. In the former Statistical Account of the parish it is said that the sum had accumulated to £2600 Sterling, - the interest of which is distributed among certain poor persons in this and other parishes, without regard to their religious creed" New Statistical Acct. [Account] The building erected for the benevolent purposes mentioned in the foregoing extract is the same as above described, but is now used as a residence by the proprietor Sir W.D. Stewart. |
