Tour Scotland photograph of the Peter Crichton gravestone in the churchyard cemetery in Fossoway, Perthshire, Scotland. Late gardener and overseer at Tullibole Castle, died 26th May, 1845, aged 62. Charter evidence shows that in 1490, Tullibole belonged to the Heron family, passing to the Hallidays in the 16th century. It passed to the Moncrieffs about 1740. Tullibole Castle is still in the possession of the Moncrieff family.
The first recorded spelling of the family name Crichton is shown to be that of Turstan de Crectune, witness of King David's Charter. which was dated circa 1128, Edinburgh, Scotland, during the reign of King David 1, of Scotland, 1124 to 1153.
