and the site of it is marked on two plans of Perth one dated 1774 and the other 1792 nearly on the
Same Spot. Others again contend that it stood adjoining the North Port and that of Blackfriars Wynd
of which Mr. Marshall author of a history of Perth is of the latter opinion. The monastery with its Church
and other adjuncts seems to be of considerable extent, and the most conclusive evidence appears
to prove that it stood on the east and south west sides of Athole Crescent.
" The Dominican or Blackfriars Monastery was situated at the north Side of the town
and was founded by Alexander the second in 1231 who in 1244 granted to it the whole
ground where his garden was and also a Conduit of water from his mill lade measuring
four inches in width. The buildings were large and Commodious, and wer Sometime Spoken
of as a palace. In this monastery the Scottish Kings when at Perth usually took up
their residence after the demolition of the old Castle. In the Church of the monastery
the parliament Sometimes met and the national ecclesiastical Councils held in it their
annual meetings. The designation of the friars was, The Predicatory or the Preaching Friary
of the Burgh of Perth."
