found it necessary to build strong walls to arrest their UBUi*pation.
It is recorded that this district receives the name of Errol, signify-
ing an eastern landmark, from the circumstance of the family of
Hay, who, having fought gaUantly at Luncarty, received for their
services from the king a gift of as much land in the carse of Gowrie
as a hawk flew over. Be this account correct or merely a tradi-

very handsome building on a commanding site ; the tower may be
seen at a considerable distance; there is also a substantial and
capacious Free church, and one for United Presbyterians. Acreage
of the parish 9,507; population in 1871, 2,504, the village number-
ing 918.
