015.14 | A farmsteading, dwellinghouse and offices one storey, all slated and in good repair property of James Reid Merchant Stirling. "It was at Edinbelly, in this parish that Rob Roy junior abducted Jean Kay or Wright, and for which he suffered the last penalty of the law at Edinburgh. Jean Kay, whom Rob abducted, was the heiress of Edinbelly, and, though not quite 15 years of age, was the widow of Mr. Wright of Wright's Park. She is described as being interesting enough in her appearance, and rather of a comely countenance. One evening, a very few weeks after Mr. Wright's death, Rob, with a party of 15 Highlanders, landed unexpectedly at Edinbelly, and carried the young widow off to his retreat in the Highlands. In process of time he was pursued, taken, convicted, and executed for the crime." Statistical Acct. [Account]. There are no remains of the old mansion house of Edinbelly. |
