098 | [Situation] On the South Side of Long Causeway The site of this monastery is pointed out on the south side of the Long causeway in Dovecot Land. In the garden ground attached to some of the houses at this place human bones are frequently dug up, which evidently points out the site of the grave yard, and there is here a small dwelling house which had been constructed, in the memory of some very aged persons, of a small ruin and which is traditonally stated to have been the ruins of the church of the monastery. The lower part of the walls of this house appears plainly to have been part a very old building as it's quite different to that of the upper or modern building, but whether it was part of the church cannot now with any degree of certainty be ascertained. The site also referenced on a plan of Perth dated 1792 near the place above referred to. |
