The property of David Anderson Esqr. This house is built upon the Site of a building, which formerly belonged to the Knights Templars. "The most ancient place in the parish so far as is known is St. Germains now the seat of D. Anderson Esqr. "The only mansion-house in the parish inhabited by a proprietor is St. Germains, the Seat of David Anderson Esqr., which had formerly been an establishment of the Knights Templar but after their Suppression was bestowed by James IV, on the King's College of Aberdeen." Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] 1835 "Near Setoun there was founded in the 12th Century a hospital which was dedicated to St. Germains who thus gave his name to the place. It is still the seat of a gentleman. On the 20th of August 1296 Bartholomew the master of this hospital swore fealty to Edward I at Berwick and in return he received precepts to the sheriffs of Berwick Edinburgh & Fife, of Kincardine and Aberdeen to restore the revenues of the house which was thus situated in several shires. Among the several St. Germains we may suppose the British as best known, to have been the saint to whom this hospital was dedicated. English Martyr. 97" Chalmers Caledonia, vol II, Page 674. |
