Monzievaird

Monzievaird (/ˈmɒnivɛərd/) is a location in Scotland, situated 2 miles (3 km) west of Crieff, within the Highland district of Perth and Kinross.

According to this interpretation, the name of the nearby village of Monzie is unrelated, except for influencing the pronunciation of the first syllable "Monz" as "Mon" in linguistic sympathy.

Ochtertyre House, the Murray family seat in Perthshire from 1784 to 1790, is located here, overlooking the loch from an elevated position.

Now a private residence, it has served various purposes over the years, including as a school (Seymour Lodge, 1939–1965), a theatre, and a restaurant.

Immediately following the Battle of Knock Mary on 21 October 1490, the Drummonds and Campbells set fire to the old church of Monzievaird, killing approximately twenty members of the Murray family.

[4][8] Upon hearing of the massacre, James IV of Scotland, ordered the arrest of the main perpetrators, David Drummond and Duncan Campbell of Dunstaffnage.

[10] The town of Cornwall, in the state of New York, originated from a colony of twenty-five Scottish families who settled around the mouth of the Moodna Creek in 1685.
