Sir William D. Stewart Mr. John Harris Revd. [Reverend] Daniel McBride New Statistical Account |
062 | This name is applied to a very large oak tree, adjacent to the Hospital. Tradition says that in former times the bodies of hanged criminals were buried under this tree, from which circumstance it takes its name. "Ruthven, the sheriff, is said to have held his court on a rising ground to the north, still called the Court-hill; and there were lately, or there still may be, at the east end of Roch-an-roy wood, some oaks on which Highlanders were hung, and which long went under the name of the "Hanged-men's-trees". Some of these trees still remain in the parish of Little Dunkeld." New Statistical Account. There is only one of these trees now standing. "Here a noble oak is shewn which served as a Gallows in the execution of those condemned at the Regality Courts held on this hill" Dunkeld, its Straths & Glens |
