SPITTALFIELD, a village, in the parish of Caputh,
county of Perth, 4i miles (E. by S.) from Dunkeld;
containing 238 inhabitants. This is a neat village, inhabited
chiefly by weavers; whence the name. It lies
on the borders of Cluny parish, upwards of a mile eastward
of the parochial church, and contains the school.
It is the sole property of Sir John Muir Mackenzie of
Delvine, Bart., the principal heritor in the parish. In
1775, a stamp-office for linens was established here.
