(Leggatt) 196 II THE MAXTONES OF CUL TOQUHEY CHAPTER I THE FIRST FIVE LAIRDS OF CULTOQUHEY THE object of this book is to draw together the frail threads of the story of a simple Scottish family, recording as far as possible with the slight material available, for their descendants now living and for those who are to come, the lives and activities of the owners of Cultoquhey, who have lived upon the lands from father to son for more than five centuries. Neither historical background nor the prestige giving to some great families a dazzling appeal to the imagination can be claimed for the Maxtones of Cultoquhey. They belonged to a quiet but tenacious race. Little light can be thrown on the characters of the earlier lairds, for there remains only what can be gathered from the arid disclosures of charters, and other legal documents, bearing the signatures that form the only proof that they ever lived. Later traditions and legends lift the veil to some extent, till the great enlightenment of letters brings nearer the realization of life and personality. Unfortunately the Maxtones of the far past do not . emerge clearly into this light. Among the family papers there are no letters until late in the seventeenth century, and the few that are dated about that time reveal nothing of general interest. Like many such collections of all ages, the great events of the day are passed over without comment. Their only value lies in the occasional glimpses giving some aspect of old Scottish domestic life. But even these are few and far between. Through the early generations the Maxtones produced· no good letter-writer, and had few corre­ spondents, to throw a st~ong light on a family otherwise obscure. It will be realized from many gaps and unfinished episodes that much has been destroyed in the past and that the present record is not drawn from a wealth of material. Of the earlier lairds, it can only 13 14 MAXTONES OF CULTOQUHEY be said that they did certainly live, possess the estate, and die, leaving the inheritance to a son. Cultoquhey1 lies in Central Perthshire, in the parish of Fowlis Wester, three miles east of Crieff and fifteen westward from Perth. A small property between the range of the Ochil hills to the south and the Grampians to the north, it has always been surrounded by larger estates. The Morays of Abercairny, the Campbells of Monzie, the Murrays ofDollerie, the Keith Murrays of Ochtertyre, the Drummonds of Concraig, the owners of Ferntower and Balgowan, were the nearest neighbours, and for the most part were established families before the date of the earliest Maxtone charters. The interests of all these landowners were a threat to the small undefended property. Possibly safety lay in the fact that all alike looked with desire on the nestling fields and woods of Cultoquhey and kept a jealous eye on one another; but there must have been kindly friendship too, for the Cultoquhey estate, though often threatened, was never dismembered. The house which sheltered so many generations was built on the site of some earlier long-vanished stronghold, first mentioned in a charter of 1545 as a "Fortalice and Tower." A relic of this strong­ hold remains to-day in the great stone dug out of the foundations when the old house was demolished, and which bears a modern inscription notifying that it marks the exact situation of the dwelling­ place that must have replaced the "Fortalice and Tower." According to the only picture that has been found, this was a small compact house with wings, to modern ideas far too small for the families that were reared within its walls; but until recently the standards of comfort in Scotland were primitive. Privacy was little considered and rules of health unknown. The household staff would be crowded into a couple of attics, and the children packed like sardines in small bedrooms at night. All the lesser Scottish houses were overcrowded ; but, in spite of this drawback, hospitality was one of the first rules of country life. There must always be room for guests at bed and board, and besides, shelter was given as a matter of course to certain members of the older generation. As each laird and lady succeeded to the estate, one or two unmarried Maxtone ladies were left, as the tide of life receded, cast on the shore, to be protected and cared for by the younger people. With the unfailing arrival of the new family group, it must often have been a tight squeeze in the old house of Cultoquhey. 1 The name Cultoquhey is the anglicized form of the Gaelic Cuilt a' Chadha, meaning "Nook of the Path." A cadha is a hollow path in a hill face. In the old form the original would have been Guilt a' choi. (Information given by Professor W. J. WATSON.) THE FIRST FIVE LAIRDS OF CULTOQUHEY r5 The outlook from the new house, now more than a hundred years old, is practically the same, as it stands only a few yards to the west of the ancient site, looking out over the wide coloured strath to the Ochil range of hil_ls. The house its.elf r~mai_ns just a~ it was designed by Sir Robert Smirke, a noted architect_ m his day, wi_th no changes or additions but the present grounds with the groupmg of fine trees and terra~es and the wooded approach from Gilmerton village were laid out long after by James Maxtone Graham, the 13th laird, about 1860. There is an earlier history of Cultoquhey, for it came within the scope of the Roman occupation in the days of Agricola. Urns and ashes have been dug up in the mounds and ditches of a small camp on the estate, probably connected with a great camp at Fendoch, an important stronghold of the Roman legions in the Sma' Glen. Possibly further research might unearth valuable relics, but in the meantime the story of the occupation remains in the realms of surmise, supported by plain indications that the Romans were certainly there. The legendary origin: of the family name is set forth here as a matter of interest, but the statements gathered from vague sources are merely scraps of tradition, handed down without any foundation in historical record. It is an established fact that there lived a man Maccus in the reign of David I., between I II 6 and 1147, who was a landowner of some note in his day. His manor was called Maccus-ton, and lay on the left bank of the Tweed in Roxburghshire. The village of Maxton is still in existence on the spot. It is claimed by some genealogical writers that the Maxtones came northwards from thence, and being of Saxon origin had nothing to do with the migration of knights from the south. The reason of the change from Roxburghshire to Perthshire is all conjecture. Possibly the family groups were carried northward in the tide of seekers after land in the train of some Norman conqueror.

  • The Cistercian Abbey of Coupar Angus, C.1164-C.1560
    1 The Cistercian Abbey of Coupar Angus, c.1164-c.1560 Victoria Anne Hodgson University of Stirling Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2016 2 3 Abstract This thesis is an examination of the Cistercian abbey of Coupar Angus, c.1164-c.1560, and its place within Scottish society. The subject of medieval monasticism in Scotland has received limited scholarly attention and Coupar itself has been almost completely overlooked, despite the fact that the abbey possesses one of the best sets of surviving sources of any Scottish religious house. Moreover, in recent years, long-held assumptions about the Cistercian Order have been challenged and the validity of Order-wide generalisations disputed. Historians have therefore highlighted the importance of dedicated studies of individual houses and the need to incorporate the experience of abbeys on the European ‘periphery’ into the overall narrative. This thesis considers the history of Coupar in terms of three broadly thematic areas. The first chapter focuses on the nature of the abbey’s landholding and prosecution of resources, as well as the monks’ burghal presence and involvement in trade. The second investigates the ways in which the house interacted with wider society outside of its role as landowner, particularly within the context of lay piety, patronage and its intercessory function. The final chapter is concerned with a more strictly ecclesiastical setting and is divided into two parts. The first considers the abbey within the configuration of the Scottish secular church with regards to parishes, churches and chapels. The second investigates the strength of Cistercian networks, both domestic and international.

  • Perth and Kinross Council Development Management Committee – 11 May 2016 Report of Handling by Development Quality Manager
    Report No. 16/95 Perth and Kinross Council Development Management Committee – 11 May 2016 Report of Handling by Development Quality Manager Erection of a wind farm comprising 14 turbines (6 within Perth and Kinross and 8 within Angus), access track, borrow pits, anemometer mast and ancillary works known as Saddlehill Windfarm, Land at Black Hill, Glen Isla Ref. No: 14/01993/FLM Ward No: 3 - Blairgowrie and Glens Summary This report recommends refusal of the application for the erection of six turbines and associated infrastructure, on land within Perth and Kinross Council’s administrative area, as the location, prominence, scale and layout of the proposed windfarm would have unacceptable adverse landscape impacts. Including cumulative landscape impacts on the immediate landscape character as well as the wider landscape setting and the Highland Boundary Fault. Additionally the windfarm has significant and unacceptable visual impacts, including cumulative landscape impacts on residential, recreational and tourist receptors. In light if the above and the adverse impact on the setting of scheduled ancient monuments it is considered that the magnitude of the adverse effects associated with the development are significant and environmentally unacceptable. The proposal is not considered to comply with the overriding thrust of the development plan and there are no material considerations of sufficient weight which would justify departing from the development plan. Accordingly the application should be refused. It should be noted that Angus Council has refused the application for the eight turbines within their administrative Area. PROPOSAL 1 The windfarm application site straddles the administrative boundaries of Perth and Kinross Council and Angus Council.
