A STONE COFFIN-CONTAINING HUMAN AND OTHER REMAINS-FOUND HERE [Church of Monzievaird] |
. |
Revd. [Reverend] William Robertson
Mr. Perter McCrostie
Mr. Hugh Millar |
095 |
"In the year 17--, there was found, about one hundred yards to the westward of the old church of Monzievaird, a barrow containing a stone-coffin, in which were inclosed two coarse earthen urns, the one filled with burnt bones, the other containing the bones of the head. Of these, the under jawbone and the teeth were very entire. In the stone coffin was also found a stone hatchet, bluish-coloured, very hard, about four inches long, and of a triangular shape, - a remain which proves the barrow of very remote antiquity- prior to the use of iron. The stone hatchet is preserved at Ochtertyre"
From Statistical Account P.740.
There are no traces of the "barrow", alluded to in the above account, now on the ground. |

"The old church of Monivaird, on the site of which now stands the Mausoleum of the family of Ochtertyre, was, in 1511, during the reign of James IV., the scene of a bloody tragedy of the feudal times, in which the clans of the Murrays and the Drummonds were the actors. A feud having been obtained between these two clans, a party of the Murrays proceeded to exact tithes and carry off spoil from the neighbouring lands of the Drummonds; and having defeated their enemies at Cnoc-Mary, in the parish of Muthill and succeeded in their object, were returning in triumph to their homes. At this Junction, Duncan Campbell of Dunstaffnage, attended by a body of his followers, arrived from Argyllshire, bent on avenging the death of his father-in-law, Drummond of Monzie, who with his two sons, had recently before been killed by some of the Murrays.The Campbells and Drummonds |

[Continued] united their respective parties, and the Murrays being now out-numbered, were in there turn forced to retreat, and take refuge within the walls of the church of Monzievaird. There, for a time, they eluded the search of the "avengers";and the Master of Drummond was at length about to give up the quest, when, unfortunately one of the Murrays observing a Highlander within musket-shot of the church, and unable even in such perilous circumstances, to restrain his thirst for blood, forced upon him, and thus at once attracted the notice of their presences,and increased their appetite for revenge. The sacredness of the plan afforded no protection to its inmates, but for a while its natural advantages promised to stand them in better stead. To the summons of surrender the Murrays returned a haughty defiance, and for a time repelled all the assaults of their foes. At length the Drummonds, unable to draw them from their retreat, or to force its defences, called for fire,and instantly the heath-covered church was enveloped in flames.No quarter was given by the infuriated Drummonds, and all within the church perished on the spot. James IV administered the law of the Kingdom too firmly and impartially to allow this bloody massacre to pass unpunished; and William the Master of Drummond, son of John, first Lord Drummond, was immediately apprehended, and conveyed to Stirling where he, with several of his followers, was tried, condemned and beheaded.
According to one tradition, twenty three men perished in this scene of outrage. In the Rev. [Reverend] Mr. Porteous's account, it is more generally stated that "a great number were burned to death;" while Sir Walter Scott, in the introduction to the "Legend of Montrose"(Waverley Novels Vol 15) makes the number "eight score of the Murrays,with their wives and children;" and adds that one of the Murrays was permitted to escape from the burning Kirk by a Drummond, upon whom he had formerly conferred a favour. The fact of such a scene having occurred on this spot is beyond a doubt. In 1809, on laying the foundation of the mausoleum on the site of the old "heath-covered Kirk", a quantity of charred wood was found, supposed to be the remains of part of the timber burned in 1511.

[Continued]
Little is known regarding the ancient ecclesiastical state of these parishes. But it would appear that Monzievaird and Strowan were separate and distinct parishes, as it is stated in the former Statistical Account that the Earl of Strathern, in the beginning of the thirteenth cenury, made a grant of the Church of St.Servanus,or Serf of Moivard to the monastery of Inchaffrey. Whereas, on the other hand, Keith, in "his history of the Church and State in Scotland"(13.4.App. [Appendix] p.191,) includes Strowan in the list of the parsonages or parochial churches in Scotland remaining unappropriated to bishops or religious houses at the time of the Reformation. The exact period at which Monzievaird and Strowan were united, is involved in obscurity, but it is evident, from the reports of the Commissioners of Teinds from 1661 to1673, that the union had place previous to the year 1662. New Statistical Account
When speaking of the Site of Monzievaird Church the dedicatory name is never mentioned and it is little known in the locality but the name of the ancient parish and Church are invariably coupled together, therefore I have written them so on the plans in order that they may not be lost sight of.

County of Perth -- Parish of Monzievaird and Strowan
"In the lower part of the
parish there are three small lakes, well-stocked
with pike, perch, trout, carp tench and eel.
The largest of these, the Loch of Monzievaird, already noticed, covers about
30 Scotch acres. It is situated at the base of a fine hanging wood, having
a southern exposure, in the midst of which stands the mansion-house of Ochtertyre. The
lake is surrounded by the pleasure grounds and plantations,and the scenery around
it is equal to any in Scotland. For many years up to 1814, shell-marl was dragged
from the bottom of this lake by means of a floating-machine, in many places from a depth of 25 feet, which
was sold at about £.0.1.1 per boll. In the year 1809, no less a quantity than 10,585 bolls were raised, and
sold for £.573.7.7.½ . This manure was very extensively used in the district, and with great utility, especially
in the cultivation of waste land. It was also particularly adapted for producing fine grass, and
contributed much to raise the beautiful pastures with which the parish is clothed.***
In1805.a bronze head of a spear was raised from the lake of Ochtertyre.

ruin presently existing in these parishes
is an old Castle, situated on the north of the Loch of Monzievaird, on a peninsula, which, being
separated from the mainland by a very narrow isthmus, must in former times have been often converted
into an island, and approached only by a drawbridge, for the purposes of strength and security. *** Sir William
Murray, first Baronet of Ochtertyre, inhabited this Castle for some time about 1650, during the usurpation of Cromwell;
and the spot on which it stood, then received the name of Dry Isle.

"The most remarkable view presently existing in these parishes is an old castle,
situated on the north of the Loch of Monzievaird, on a peninsula, which, being separated
from the mainland by a narrow isthmus, must in former times have been converted into
an island, and approached only by a drawbridge, for the purposes of strength and security. The
building, which is now reduced to a square tower of about 17 by 18 feet within walls, had formerly been more extensive.
The walls are about five or six feet in thickness, and still hard as adamant. There is a vague tradition that
this castle belonged to the Red Cumin, Bruce's antagonist and rival for the throne of Scotland. And in the
charter by which the lands of Ochtertyre came into the family of the present proprietor, and which is dated 1467,
it receives the appellation of antiquum fortalicium, from which it appears, that, even at the distance of 400 years,it was
regarded as an old building. The proper name of it is Castle Cluggy.Sir William Murray, first Baronet of
Ochtertyre, inhabited this Castle for some time about 1650, during the usurpation of Cromwell; and the spot
on which it stood then received the name of the Dry Isle. In the lake of Ochtertyre , about 80 yards distant
from the Dry Isle, is an artificial island, formed of stones, supported by oak trees,which tradition
represents to have been a type of prison attached to the castle." Statistical Account |

"An account,
illustrative of the parishes, drawn up by the
Revd. [Reverend] Mr. Porteous, formerly minister of Monivaird,
will be found in Part I. Vol. [Volume] 2 of the transactions of the Society of Antiquarians.
From this compilation, the writer of the present Account has derived various points
of interesting information. It is there stated, that the plague ravaged Monivaird
in the reign of Charles I. "An old man," says the writer, "informed me that his father, having
recovered at that time, was a cleanser; and told him, that, when this fatal disease was laying
in the parish, one gentleman caused many huts to be built, and ordered all who perceived
that they were infected, immiedately to repair unto them. That particularly, the family
of Ochtertyre caused observation to be made every morning whether the wind blew from the east
or west. That they sent provisions of all kinds to them, but gave their servants strict orders,
if the wind blew from the east, to lay them down a good way to the east of them; and
to the west, if it blew from the west; and that, some time after they were gone, the cleansers
took them up, and carried them to the diseased." The graves of those who then died of the
pestilence were still visible to the west of the Loch of Monivaird when the account
was compiled. Statistical Account |

"He left three acres of ground to the bellman of Strowan, requiring in the charter which accompanied the grant, as the service to be rendered in return; that the bellman and his heirs should ring the holy bell of St.Rowan under his gown when mass was said. The name Dewar in Gaelic signifies a bellman; and a family of Dewars, some of whom still survive, occupied a piece of ground at Strowan for several generations under the grant, and until within these few years. The bell, apparently made of brass and iron, but wanting the tongue, is in the possession of the present proprietor of Strowan, Thomas Graham Stirling Esqr. Statistical Account |

way for the erection of a monument to General Sir David Baird." ... "According to tradition [over] |

"One of the most interesting structures
in the scene, especially arresting the
attention, from its own elegance and the
romantic beauty of its site, as well as
from the varied ancient and modern
associations connected with the spot,
is the monument recently erected on
Tom-a-Chastel to the memory of General
Sir David Baird, late of Ferntower, Bart. [Baronet],
the Hero of Seringapatam. This monument
is an obelisk built of beautiful Aberdeen granite, some of the stones weighing 5 Tons. It is 82 feet
4 inches in height, and is an exact fact simile of, and of the same dimensions with, Cleopatra's
Needle.".... |

Sir David Baird's Monument [continued]
"this stronghold of the Earls of Strathearn was burnt down, and some noble ladies confined in it punished in the flames. The burning of the castle seems certain, but who these sufferers were is a question of more difficult solution. There appears some ground to believe that one of them may have been Joanna, the daughter of Malise,
Earl of Strathearn, and of the Princess of the Orkneys, and the wife of the Earl of Warrenne. Our old historians inform us, that this lady having, with many others, been guilty of treasonable practices against King Robert I.
was, by the Black Parliament held at Scone, August 1320 condemned to perpetual imprisonment; and it has been conjectured, not without probability, that the dungeon keep on Tom-a-Chastel was the scene of her durance
and miserable death. The tradition of this country favours this supposition; and remains lately found among the ruins on the Castle hill seem to corroborate it."
"In 1831,when preparations were making for the erection of Sir David Baird's Monument on the site of the old castle, the workmen discovered the remains of an extensive edifice intermixed with a blackish mound, in which human bones frequently occurred, with stirrups, buckles, and other decayed fragments of ancient armour. In the old dungeon
keep were found a quantity of black earth, apparently the debris of animal matter, a bracelet, a considerable portion of charcoal, and some human bones. When the traditions of the district are viewed in connection with these facts,it appears probable that Tom-a Chastel was not only the scene where the Earls of Strathearn dwelt in the season of their prosperity and power, but also the spot where the last of their race, the noble but worthless
Joanna, the wife of De Warrenne, expiated her treacherous practices against her King and country, and ended her unhappy days amid the burning ruins of the castle of her ancestors." Statistical Account |

The parish school consists of two separate buildings, in one of which is taught English reading, writing, and arithmetic, Greek, French, Latin & Mathematics, the other is exclusively for the instruction of girls in all kinds of needlework. Seeing that the female pupils, after learning to read and write, left the school and went to Crieff and other places in order to be instructed in sewing etc.,the minister and the Schoolmaster represented the case to the heritors, who, thereupon, supplied the want, by erecting a second school in connexion with the one already built, and provided a suitable schoolmistress, at a fixed salary, to instruct the females a certain portion of each day, in needlework. |
