073 | The site of the old residence of the Nairne family, its position is marked by two or three old plane trees. "The principal residence of this ancient family was situated at Loak, in this parish; and the House of Nairne is still spoken of as one of the finest seats of the Scottish nobility. After the forfeited property was purchased by the Duke of Atholl, this residence was demolished; and the only vestige of it which now remains is part of the orchard, with a green mound planted, which terminated one of the avenues; but there are persons still alive, who, amid the levellings of the plough and harrow, can point out the various localities, the favourite walks of the "last Lady Mary", her sylvan bower, the clear pebble well, of which the stream still flows, the old thorn tree, and the bowling green in which Lord Nairne marshalled his clan before they marched to join the Prince at Perth." New Statistical Acct [Account] The date of the erection of this building is not known, but its demolition was caused by fire, not by the Duke of Athole, as stated in the foregoing extract. |
