Parish notes

The parsonage was a prebend of Dunblane cathedral by 1535, while the bishop apparently held one quarter of its fruits in accordance with an agreement of 1237 (SRO GRH Chrs. no.1105; RSS iv no.2914; Burnett Stuart Coll. no.25; Assumptions 297; Vet. Mon. no.xci). The vicarage at the Reformation was held with the provostry of Innerpeffray, but as far as can be seen this was purely a personal union (Ass. 312; Thirds 15; RSS lxx 5). Cowan 1967, 34-5. Local tradition asserts that the kirk was dedicated to Kessog (see J.M. Mackinlay ‘St Kessog and his cultus in Scotland’ Glasgow Archaeolog. Soc. Transactions New Series 3 (1899), 347-59, p.357. Note Tom-na-chessaig (ibid.).- NN773220 (Redford 1988, 152). ? Same as St Cessog’s Mound, near river (see Redford 1988, 152). In 1891, detached parts of Monzievaird & Strowan were transferred to Comrie including Meiggar, Cultybraggan (part of farm), Drumchork, Milntuim etc. See Shennan 1892, 208 for details. Also a detached part of Muthill was transferred to Comrie viz. Cowden & Mill of Fortune. See Shennan 1892, 209 for details.
