Tour Scotland Photograph James Tennent Gravestone Fintry

Tour Scotland photograph of the Doctor James N. Tennent gravestone in the churchyard cemetery in Fintry, Scotland. Fintry is a small village in central Scotland, nestled in the Strath of the Endrick Water between the Campsie Fells and the Fintry Hills, some 19 miles north of Glasgow.

Recorded as Tenant, Tenaunt and Tennant, this is an English. It originally described a husbandman, the later description being a farmer, or one who held lands from an overlord. The derivation is from the pre 10th century Olde French word " tenant ", introduced by the victorious Normans after the Invasion of 1066.
