098 | The precise Spot or Site of this monastery is not well known but tradition points out the east or S.E. [South east] side of Athole Crescent as the place where it Stood. The Site of the graveyard is pretty well known as fragments of human bones have been dug up on many occasions in the vicinity and on the Site of the above Crescent. Even in the roadway in front of the Crescent many graves were found Mr. William Ross saw human bones dug up in the road at the entrance into the North Inch at the east end of Athole Street and this gentleman States that his father pointed out the Site of the monastery to him when a boy, that it stood in a S. [South] Easterly directly from the Dancing Academy at the north end of Carpenter Street and that the said academy is built on the N.W. [North West] part of the site. But Mr. Buist Session Clerk now an old man and whose ancestors lived in Perth states that the tradition is that the monastery stood on the site of the middle Free Ch [Church]. |
