This was a fortification or fort built by Cromwell in the year 1652. Although there are now no remains of it to be seen yet there are many old persons in the town who remember to have seen distinct traces of the ramparts. It was of a square form and had a bastion at each corner. It was surrounded by a high rampart of earth and outside of that a deep moat filled with water. It was almost close to the river and had a pier for loading and unloading stores

City of Perth -- Sheet 98.5.19
[Site of Cromwell's Citadel continued]
[continued from page 23]
In the year 1651, Cromwell, after he had defeated the King's troops in an engagement near Burntisland, marched directly to
Perth. He found the gates shut against him. His purpose was to besiege it, but, having proposed honourable terms to the
citizens, he obtained possession. In the following year he built a citadel on the South Inch, with the view of
keeping the place more effectually in subjection to him. It was strong, and had a commanding appearance. Its figure was square.
It had a bastion at each corner, and was surrounded with a rampart of earth, and a deep moat filled with water. It was
near to and connected with the river, and had a pier for loading and unloading vessels. "The entry towards the town had
an iron gate. The commanding officer ordered great trees to be cut down in the King's hunting-park at Falkland and brought
to the citadel. The school-house was demolished. It contained 360 scholars, was three stories high, with room for the
rector, doctor, and music master. They demolished the high wall of the Grayfriars, carried away the stones, with nearly 300
tomb-stones, and 140 dwelling-houses, with the garden walls; also the hospital, a stately building. The stone pillars and
abutments of the bridge, besides many kilns and fishing-boats, all were carried away to build the citadel. One hundred
and forty families were turned out of their houses, and had starved, if they had not been supplied by the town. The
surface of the two Inches, which yielded 2000 merks yearly for grass was carried off to build the ramparts."
Charles II upon his restoration to the throne, made a gift of the citadel, with "the whole arms, amunition, and others
therein", to the town, as an indemnification for the losses, which they had sustained by its erection, and in consider-
ation of their faithful services to his Majesty (28th. June 1661).
The place which the citadel occupied does not now appear, the trenches being filled up and the ground levelled. But
there are persons alive who distinctly recollect both its appearance and position in 1771. On Mr Buist's map of the city
and its environs, (1765) preserved in the Antiquarian Museum, its position is distinctly laid down.

It was 266 feet on each side within the moat. On the north side the wall ran parallel to Grayfriars burying-ground
westward across the present south road into the ground where Marshall Place stands. The south wall was nearly
as far south as the aged thorn tree on the east of the road; and the east wall extended along the river side,
and at a short distance from the river. For some time before the Barracks were built, which was in 1793, a
part of it was fitted up for cavalry. At one time there was in it stabling for 200 horse, besides a riding-house,
a tavern, a bake-house, and other corresponding accommodation.

The site of these buildings is pointed out by tradition to be the immediate vicinity of St Leonard's Cottage which was not many years ago a farm house, simply called St Leonard's, and Mr. Marshall says he has always heard it stated that this farm house was built on the very site.

late years human bones have been dug up in considerable quantities at a short distance from the supposed site. The following is from a history of the City called "The Book of Perth".
"The Nunnery of St Leonard the Abbot with its Chapel and Hospital was a short distance South-west of the town and was founded before 1296. After the erection of the Carthusian Monastery this Nunnery was suppressed and its lands and rents were conferred on the Carthusians, who continued the chapel under their patronage Lady Elizabeth Dunbar daughter of George tenth Earl of Dunbar and March became Prioress of the Nunnery in 1411, She had been betrothed or as some allege privately married to the unfortunate David Duke of Rothsay, eldest son of Robert III. Her father is said to have paid to the Duke a large part of her marriage portion and the latter signed a bond under his seal that he would perform his espousal, but in defiance of this contract he married in 1400, in Bothwell church Marjory daughter of Archibald third Earl of Douglas, Lady Elizabeth whom it appears he was compelled to reject devoted herself after his unhappy death to a single life." |
