[History] of the Highlands Duncan's Itinerary of Scotland Valuation Roll County Directory Estate Plans 042 ; 052 ; 053 "The name of Rattray seems to have belonged alike to the parish, and to the principal family that dwelt in it, and probably was transferred from the one to the other. It is said that there are records which bear the name of Rattray of Craighall and Rattray, as early as 1066. No Account is given of the etymology of the name." New Stat [Statistical] Account. "The Parish is in the extreme West of Strathmore proper, marching with the district of Stormont. It is bounded on the north by Alyth; on the north-east by the detached part of Blairgowrie; on the East by Bendochy; and on the South and West by the River Ericht, which divides it from the main body of Blairgowrie. Its extreme length from north to south is 5½ miles; and its mean breadth is about 1¾ miles. A detached portion called Easter Bleaton, lies 3½ miles to the north-north-west; measures 1 mile by 1½; and is bounded on the north by Forfarshire, - on the east and the south by Alyth, - and on the west by the river Lochy, which divides it from a detached part of Caputh and from Kirkmichael.

The Ericht, over most of its 6½ miles connexion with the parish, is alternately a picturesque and a romantic stream, its banks (above Craighall) are sheer precipices of rock, upwards of 200 feet high - There is a thriving village in the parish ¾ of a mile east of Blairgowrie. It is, in a strict sense, two villages, Old and New Rattray, almost contiguous. Old Rattray is situated on the declivity of a hill, and built in a straggling manner; and New Rattray occupies both sides of the road toward Blairgowrie, and extends almost to the Ericht. The former has much increased during the last half century; the latter has entirely sprung into existence within that period; and both owe their prosperty, in a great degree, to the water power of the Ericht & the erection upon it of flax spinning Mills." Fullarton's Gazetteer The antiquities of the parish several "Circles", "Standing Stones", the ancient mansion of Craighall, and the site of the ancient Castle of Rattray - There is one portion of this parish detached, there is no portion of any parish contained within the boundary of this Parish - Blairgowrie detd.

"A large earthen mound rises in the low grounds, Called the Hill of Rattray, on the eastern summit of which are the remains of a large building, named the Castle of Rattray, and which was anciently the residence of the family of that name. The ground is of an oblong form, something resembling the shape of an inverted ship; but the eastern corner of it is circular, as if sucked up by the action of a whirlpool, when the waters were retiring from the Earth. In the perilous times which were so frequent during the reign of our Scottish Kings, the family of Rattray removed from this hill to Craighall, as a place of security against the sudden incursions of enemies."
