  • Duncan Mcneil's Presentation on the Village of Gargunnock Drawn From
    Duncan McNeil’s Presentation on the Village of Gargunnock drawn from the old Statistical Accounts of 1796 & 1841 From the local history collection of John McLaren [email protected] Web Site www.gargunnockvillagehistory.co.uk Duncan McNeil’s Presentation on Gargunnock drawn from the old Statistical Accounts of 1796 & 1841 Mr McNeil’s handwritten presentation, delivered in the church hall in 1947, is held in the Stirling Council Archives at Borrowmeadow Road. It runs to 74 pages and contains an instruction at the end of line 3 on page 49 to go to an additional page 50 on which there are two paragraphs, one on the village and the other on the Rev John Stark with the further instruction to then return to the first page 50. Doing so would have resulted in the additional paragraphs being so obviously out of context that I have instead placed them in locations where they sit more comfortably within the surrounding text. They are printed in red. The photo above is of Duncan McNeil in the early 1950s. Duncan’s father Dugald worked all his life for the Stirlings of Gargunnock and Duncan, in turn, served in the same way. He and his wife lived in Shrub Cottage, Manse Brae but after his retirement moved to Hillview, Main St., Gargunnock. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The matter which has gone to make up this presentation tonight has been taken almost entirely from two old Statistical Accounts of the parish of Gargunnock, which I have been fortunate enough to come across some years ago. These accounts were compiled by the Parish Ministers of that time, one in 1796 almost 152 years ago by the Rev.
