Statement of Interest

Both the Old Statistical Account and Melville refer to there once having been a burial ground and perhaps a chapel at Monorgan. The Old Statistical Account also refers to a corn mill here, shown on the 1867 OS map as such and listed below (the lade has since been re-routed). Stobie?s 1783 map shows the ?Mill of Monorgan?. The estate was famed for its orchards and the proprietor at the end of the 18th century, Henry Crawford, is credited with having made the first attempt at growing reeds in the Tay; although not continued here, the practice remains well established at Errol.
