G. creag, rock. The crags of the Reekie Linn have given the name to this house and barony, and to quite a number of houses in its neighbourhood. The Craig was destroyed twice in its history—once in 1595, when the Catholic Party under Huntly had been defeated by James VI., and when its owner, Sir John Ogilvy was a noted Papist; and once again in 1640, after Sir John had been six years buried in Alyth Parish Church, when Argyll was commissioned by the Government to carry fire and sword into the lands of Airlie. In 1797 (Panton), Craig was a farm of 60 Scots acres, increased greatly afterwards by the inclusion of Incheoch, Gournty, etc. Fields: The Drum (O.S. 816); the Hill (830); the Hag (806); The Branderach Parks (832, 833); The Fauds (426); The Gournty Parks (471, 513, 511). [Extract from Meikle’s ‘Places and Place-Names Round Alyth’ 1925] ALYTH YOUTH PARTNERSHIP ~ GIRLS’ GROUP AYP GG is participating in Girls on the Move for the next session. This is open to all girls aged from P6 - S3, whether current girls group members or not. It is designed to allow girls a taster of different types of activities/sports in the hope that they might like one enough to carry on with it after the session. All activities are funded so girls will not have to pay anything. Girls can turn up for a single session if they fancy trying something in particular, or come each week – it’s up to them. We are open from 6.30pm - 8.00pm on Mondays.
