Summer Road Trip Drive With Bagpipes Music On History Visit To Gilmerton Perthshire Scotland

Tour Scotland 4K Summer travel video, with Scottish bagpipes music, of a road trip drive, West on the A85 route on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Gilmerton, Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. Gilmerton is situated a mile North East of Crieff at the junction of the A85 road from Perth to Crieff with the A822 road which heads north through the Sma' Glen to Aberfeldy. The neighbouring estate of Cultoquhey was owned by the Maxtone family for five centuries, their survival being attributed to the so called Cultoquhey Prayer written by an eccentric laird in the 1700s: From the greed of the Campbells, From the Ire of the Drummonds, From the pride of the Grahams, And from the wind of the Murrays, Gude Lord preserve us. The earliest mention of the surname Maxtone is in the record of Alexsaunder de Maxtone who was Constable of the Castle of Roxburgh in 1285 and 1290. His name appears on the Ragman Roll, the great list of the nobility and gentry of Scotland who were tyrannically compelled to subscribe allegiance to King Edward I. of England in 1296. The dates of the birth and death of Robert de Maxtone, who was the 1st laird of Cultoquhey, are not known, nor the name of his wife. By the deed of 1429 he held the lands for a pair of white gloves at the Kirk of Crieff on the Feast of Michael the Archangel. The lands of Cultoquhey bestowed by King James III. in the middle of the fifteenth century have been firmly held by successive lairds from that day to this. Patrick Maxtone, the 2nd laird, succeeded his father, according to a charter dated 5th August 1483. This is a charter under_ the Great Seal by King James III. in favour of Robert Maxtone, son of Patrick Maxtone of the lands of Cultoquhey. Patrick died in 1487, so his reign as laird lasted only four years. Robert Maxtone, 3rd laird, succeeded in 1487 to the lands of Cultoquhey. He saw great changes in national life. Although there was always a background of war, clan disputes, and struggle for power between chiefs and the Crown, yet cultivation of the mind and a better standard of life were growing in spite of much restless insecurity. Alexander Maxtone, 4th laird, is the first of the line whose wife's name appears in the charters. She was Catherine Gregor, wife of Alexander Maxtone.. Robert Maxtone, 5th laird of Cultoquhey, was owner of the lands for a short time only, as the charters show his son Patrick inheriting in 1556. Robert's wife was Elizabeth Ruderford.

A historical record from 1867 indicates that a carter was fined for violating the Turnpike Act by allowing his horse to graze on the side of the turnpike road leading from Anstruther to Cellardyke. Originally known as Main Street, it became a central axis for the village's growth during the 19th century as new housing, schools, and churches were established nearby. Historically, the road was part of a major walking route for " Dykers " as residents were known, as they " wended their way " from the town to the old village of Kilrenny for worship before the local church was built.

It was a circular galleried drystone fort with thick walls and a single entrance. It likely served as a high status dwelling and a symbol of power. During the High Middle Ages and the Lordship of the Isles, the ancient broch was converted into a small tower house and rectangular hall. A fascinating feature of Dùn an Sticir is its accessibility.
