Dreich is a Scots word for dull and cloudy and rainy weather. John Bonthrone, born 1799, died 1881, was described as a pioneer of the malt trade and was one of the first commercial maltsters in Scotland. With an eye on commercial opportunities of industrial scale maltings, he was also instrumental in the construction of Fife and Kinross Railway. He ran commercial maltings in Newton of Falkland, Pitlessie, Perth, Ladybank and St Monans. The surname Bonthrone was first found in Northumberland, England, where the name was originally Bontaveron. They moved north into Scotland where they settled about 1300 in Fife. The name, Bonthrone, has had many spellings including; Bonthron, Bonthrone, Bontaverone, Bontavern, Bonthorne, Bonthorn, Bonython and many more.
