Tour Scotland Photograph Edward Bayne Gravestone

Tour Scotland photograph of the Edward Bayne gravestone in the graveyard cemetery in Muthill, Perthshire, Scotland. Erected by John Bayne, merchant in Oban, to the memory of his father, Edward Bayne, Feuar in Bridgend of Crieff who died 6th of May 1790. A feuar was basically a tenant or occupant of land who paid a fee, feudal duty, to a landlord or land owner. Building leases were very rare in Scotland. Instead, the feu system was prevalent in most Scottish towns, by which land was granted in perpetuity in return for an annual sum of a fixed amount. This system bore some resemblance to fee farm rents, which were prevalent in some parts of England.
