James Pullar

He introduced dry cleaning into his existing family firm (which largely dealt with dyeing of cloth).

The process quickly gained popularity and collection stations were created all over Scotland to take garments to Perth for cleaning.

His proposers were William Carmichael McIntosh, Thomas Miller, Sir Peter Redford Scott Lang and Sir John Murray.

[3] Pullar gifted a bandstand that stood near the southern end of the North Inch during the first part of the 20th century.

He is buried with Adelgunde next to his parents in Wellshill Cemetery in Perth, slightly north of his brother Sir Robert Pullar on the lower side of where the cemetery steps up.
