[Situation] On the E. [East] side of the County of Perth
A small parish in the south-eastern end of a low-lying fertile district called the Carse of Gowrie, Perthshire. It is bounded on the north-west by Kinfauns, On the NE [North East] and east by Errol on the south by the river Tay and on the west by a detached portion of Kinnoull. Its greatest length from north to south, is about 1¾ mile. Its greatest breadth is about 1½ mile Sir John S. Richardson Bart. [Baronet] is the sole heritor, or proprietor of the parish "In ancient records the name of this parish is almost invariably spelled St. Madois instead of St. Madoesits modern orthography" but the popular name and that by which it is called by the inhabitants in the district is Semmiedores. It is believed to be a corruption of St. Madoch, or Modoch, who is said to have been a missionary Bishop in Scotland in the third or fourth century, and from whom it is said that Kilmadock parish in this county got its name. St. Madoes is in the presbytery of Perth and Synod of Perth and Stirling. Patron Sir John S. [over] |

Sir J.S. Richardson, Bart. [Baronet] Pitgour Castle
Mr. James Hay, Factor |

[Situation] At the S. E. [South East] Corner of the Church.
This stone which lay for a long time neglected in the churchyard was Sometime ago erected in its present position at the instance of the Antiquarian Society, but where it originally Stood is not Known. It Stands in a Socket in a large block of stone which is Sunk in the earth. The following account of it is from the New Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] viz. "In the churchyard there is a very beautiful specimen of that class of monument called Runic from their imagined Norse or Danish origin. They are somewhat prevalent in this part of Scotland other specimens being found at Abernethy, Mugdrum, Dupplin, Fowlis Wester and DunKeld. There is not anything Known about their history origin or object; and although they were long supposed to have some connection with events took took place during Danish incursions those who have lately comparing them and investigating their their characters begin to think that there is more reason for linking them with the introduction of Christianity into this Country. The St. Madoes Stone is about 7 feet in length and in width about 3' at bottom and 2½ at top. Its thickness is 8 inches. It is composed of gray Sandstone similar to that which is found at Murrayshall fully 6 miles off. On the side of the sculpture is divided into five compartment right under each other nearly equal is size. Each of the uppermost three is occupied by the figure of a man on horseback the horse and rider [over] |

[continued] being of the most grotesque form and unseemly proportions. The bridles, reins, bits, rings, are minutely though rudely cut and are in perfect preservation. The rider wears a cloak or mantle Somewhat like the Short waterproof cloaks of our time but with a flat crowned head piece which leaves only a Small portion of the face to be Seen. In the fourth compartment is a Serpent Shaped figure with fretted ornaments and Something like a double headed broken Sceptre both of which ornaments are to be found on most Stones of the Same class. Still lower down is the figure of a goat a good deal defaced and adjoining this various pictures almost obliterated. This side of the stone though minutely carved does not seem to have been squared or dressed beforehand. It bears no tool marks and has several warts as if just newly taken from the quarry. The Side opposite is by far the richer and more beautiful. Its lines are as clear as if just from the hand of the artist. The principal figure is that of a cross. The upright portion of which occupies the whole length of the stone. The shaft and transept are beautifully enriched with very complicated tracery both round the point where they cross, are wreathed with a carved circle or halo, on each side of the shaft of the cross beneath its transept is a monstrous lizard-like figure apparently in the agony of death from being crunshed through at the loins by a savage-looking creature with a head like a wolf body like a dog and a thick curled tail. The two compartments adjoining the top of the cross are occupied by nondescripts with monstrous and diminutive bodies apparently gnawing their own backs. On the top equally visible from both sides of the stone are lizard-like figures couchant facing each other." |

"There is also a stone of some historical note here viz.
that stone on which as tradition bears the falcon alighted
which measured out the territory awarded by Kenneth III.
for his intrepid conduct at the battle of Luncarty. By some the
whole of this tradition has been treated as fabulous, and undoubtedly
there are portions of it not easily reconcilable with what are considered
to be well established facts, but however that may be, the stone referred
to has beyond all question been denominated the Hawk's Stone for
many centuries past, the most ancient charters and historical records
referring to it as Saxum Falconis, and one fact in favour of the traditionary
account connected with it is that it does certainly lie upon the very westmost verge
of what is Known to have been the original property of the Hays of Errol."

Pitfour is worthy of particular notice. It sends forth a very strong current at all times
the quantity varying little in Summer or winter. Its supply is at the rate of 20 gallons imperial
per minute. In some distant age it had no doubt been deemed worthy of sacred regard, for the name by
which it is designated is Tranty or Trinity."
