Monumental Inscriptions for Stewarts in Southern Perthshire

 

Transcribed by Ryk Brown and Malcolm Gray

This page is part of the Stewarts of Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland Research Forum .  The following information is extracted from South Perthshire Inscriptions (Vol. 2) Upper Strathearn and Trossachs, Monumental Inscriptions Pre-1855, edited by Alison Mitchell, produced for the Scottish Genealogy Society, 1975, by John Fowler Mitchell and Sheila Macbeth Mitchell, revised by Alison Mitchell, 2001.

  • Alison Mitchell’s abbreviations have been written out in full here for easier comprehension.
  • As this book is still in print we encourage all researchers to purchase their own copy.  In order to protect copyright our extraction of information from Mitchell’s book has been limited to only those entries that contain the surname Stewart (or variant) where there is reasonable belief that such persons are members of the Stewart families who are subjects of our research project.
  • The initial number for each entry is a reference to the location of the stone in the cemetery map provided in Mitchell’s book.  Where entries are found below with consecutive numbers in some cases this may indicate that the stones are adjacent.  On occasion, Mitchell has so specified.
  • Where the notes below say “MacGregor says” this is a reference to the John MacGregor Collection which contains transcriptions done between 1884-1934.  These earlier readings occasionally disagree with Mitchell’s readings.  The researcher must then make a judgment call.  Is MacGregor’s earlier reading more accurate because the stone would have been in better condition than when Mitchell viewed the stone 50-75 years later?  Or did MacGregor make a transcription error?
  • As our research progresses we hope to be able to identify as many as possible of these Stewarts in conjunction with their ancestral families.  These ancestral families are presented in as much detail as is presently known on our Principal Families Page .
