The family is not directly related to the Lords of Errol, who are in fact a part of the Scottish Hay clan.

A local landowner and farmer was the biological scientist Patrick Matthew, born 1790, died 1874, who planted a large orchard at Gourdiehill, Grange, Errol.

He is credited with being the first person to bring Giant Redwood seeds to the UK.
