Tour Scotland photograph of the John Stewart gravestone in the graveyard cemetery in Grandtully, Perthshire, Scotland. Grandtully has a Church of Scotland parish church; it is now part of Grantully, Logierait and Strathtay Parish, within the Church of Scotland's Presbytery of Dunkeld and Meigle.
The progenitor of the Stewart family was Alan fitz Flaad, a Breton knight who settled in England after the Norman Conquest. His son, Walter fitz Alan, relocated to Scotland during the Anarchy, and became the High Steward of Scotland, hence the origin of the surname. Stewart is the 66th most common surname in the United Kingdom.
