Historical Note Drumkilbo House is Grade B Listed with accommodation over three levels and was built in the 14th Century as a fortified Tower House with the original spiral stairway still in situ. The house was predominately built in 1811 and this part now forms the central section of the house, two wings were added in 1920 by the famous architect, Sir Robert Lorimer. This addition includes a front door, the Drawing Room and the Master Bedroom Suite. In 1963 the house was extended further including the kitchen and guest bedroom accommodation. The first recorded owner of Drumkilbo House was King Robert the Bruce, who gifted it to Morice de Tiry in circa 1300. The Tyrees were the first confirmed inhabitants of Drumkilbo and lived at Drumkilbo for 300 years until Sir Thomas Tyree sold the Estate to the Nairne Family in 1650. Alexander Nairne enlarged the house in 1811. The owner, Edward Cox, in 1920 commissioned Sir Robert Lorimer to enlarge Drumkilbo which has been undertaken to an exceptionally high standard and in keeping with the rest of the original house. More recent occupants have included a Cousin to HM the Queen and an American Stockbroker.

At The Cross 12 till 12.45 ‘straight from the shore to your door’ CANdo July/August 2019 Editorial The other day I came across an interesting statistic, which you may have read in the local and national press. Apparently, Coupar Angus is one of the healthiest of places to live in the UK. It came eighth in a list of the top ten. You may view this with some scepticism - why not in the top three? Or with surprise that our town is mentioned at all. Further investigation revealed how the list was compiled. It comes from Liverpool University and the Consumer Data Research Centre. This body selected various criteria and applied them to towns and villages across the country. These criteria included access to health services - mainly GPs and dentists - air/environmental quality, green spaces, amenities and leisure facilities. With its Butterybank community woodland, park and blue spaces like the Burn, Coupar Angus did well in this analysis. If you are fit and healthy you may be gratified by this result. If however you are less fortunate, this particular league table will have less appeal. But it is salutary to learn that your home town has many advantages.

  • The Meigle Stones: a Biographical Overview 1
    The Meigle Stones: A Biographical Overview1 Mark A. Hall* THE1 wider Tayside geographical region is immensely fortunate in having three of the key assemblages of early medieval Pictish sculpture – St Andrews, St Vigeans and Meigle – which by a stroke of fortune works out at one each for Fife, Angus and Perthshire. There may be finer single monuments elsewhere, for example Nigg,2 Shandwick,3 Hilton of Cadboll4 and Sueno’s Stone, Forres,5 and larger corpora at Iona and Govan,6 but nowhere has the quality and range in depth of the aforementioned three centres. The term ‘collection’ as applied to Meigle includes both present and absent sculptures.7 The total of 33 stones includes seven that were lost in the nineteenth century but are always considered part of the collection, in addition to the 26 on display in the Museum. This paper is not seeking to catalogue each of these stones – a project requiring much more space – but rather to give a general overview of the collection and its biographical trajectory, whilst following just some of the key pieces, to bring out some salient, defining points and to demonstrate how the meanings and forms of sculptures changed over time. We are fortunate * Mark A Hall, History Officer, Perth Museum & Art Gallery. 1 I am grateful to the Society for inviting me to present a version of this paper at their Early Medieval Meigle conference, held at the Kinloch Memorial Hall, Meigle on 13 April 2013 and for all the helpful questions and comments garnered from the audience that day and later from Lesley Abrams, John Borland, Martin Cook, Jane Geddes, Isabel and George Henderson, David Henry, Simon Taylor, Nick Evans, Adrian Maldonado and an anonymous referee.
