Edmund Pullar

He was born at 36 Mill Street in Perth on 26 October 1848, the youngest son of cloth manufacturer John Pullar (1803–1878) and his wife, Mary Walker.

[1] Around 1870 he moved to Bridge of Allan with his brother Laurence Pullar to run the huge Keirfield Manufacturing Works on the south side of the town.

It had been built in 1803 by Dr John Henderson of the East India Company and in 1853 passed to General Sir James Edward Alexander.

In 1919 he donated a memorial plaque to Bridge of Allan to mark the arrival of a water supply in the town from Cocksburn Reservoir.

[6][7] He died at Westerton House in Bridge of Allan on 8 May 1926 aged 77 and was buried in Logie Kirkyard, east of Stirling, where his brother Laurence also lies.
