Tour Scotland Photograph John Stewart Gravestone Grandtully Perthshire

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.

Tour Scotland Photograph Grandtully Chapel

Tour Scotland photograph of Grandtully Chapel, Perthshire, Scotland. This chapel served the small settlement of Pitcairn, which extended around the walls of the castle of Grandtully, and which was within the parish of Dull. It was probably built around 1533, when Alexander Stewart, who lived in the castle, provided endowments for a priest to serve here. It was enlarged and refitted in 1636 by Sir William Stewart, who was the Sheriff-Principal of Perth under Charles I. In 1883 it briefly became a parish church, but nine years later was abandoned for worship when a new church was built elsewhere, and for a while it was partly used as a byre and farm store.
