John Pullar

He was the patriarch of the Pullar dynasty which spawned a number of notable figures in Scottish history.

[1] His premises dyed cloth for his father and provided dyeing and laundry services for the public.

In 1828 he relocated to 36 Mill Street to distance himself from neighbours and have an area of expansion with good water supply.

Robert Pringle handled the remainder of the business whilst John took a new role as Provost of Perth, serving (as a radical Liberal) 1867 to 1873.

[5] Pullar died of a heart attack at his home at 3 St Leonards Bank on 16 December 1878 aged 75.
