"A handsome edifice, called 'The Blythswood Testimonial,' was accordingly finished in 1842. It stands on the west of the burgh, near the domains of the estimable gentleman of whom it forms so appropriate a memorial. This seminary may be considered as coming in the place of the parochial or grammar school for which a provision was made by a charter of James VI., in 1614." Fullarton's Gazetteer
