KINTULLOCH, a village, in the parish of DuNBARNY,
county of Perth, 3 miles (S. by E.) from Perth; containing
119 inhabitants. This place takes its name from a
Gaelic term signifying "the top of a gentle rising ground
or green eminence," on account of its contiguity to a slope
near a brook. The lands were granted, under William the
Lion, to Hugh Say, an Englishman, whose estate, having
descended to Arabella his sister, passed in part from her
by gift, after the death of her husband Reginald de
Warrene, to the monks of Scone in 1249; and finally,
after frequently changing proprietors, came into the
possession of Mr. Grant of Kilgraston. The village is
situated half a mile south-west of the church, and is
chiefly inhabited by cottars, whose tenements are remarkable
for the cleanliness of the interior, and for the
tasteful manner in which the fronts are ornamented with
roses and evergreens. At one extremity of this pleasing
spot, is a splendid gateway leading to Kilgraston. There
is a school, the master of which has a free house and garden,
allowed by the Grant family.
