HUNTINGTOWER AND RUTHVENFIELD

This article appears in Volume V13, Page 954 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HOR-I25
HUNTINGTOWER AND RUTHVENFIELD , a
village
  of Perthshire,
Scotland
 , on the Almond, 3 M. N.W. of
Perth
 , and within 1 m. of Almondbank station on the Caledonian railway. Pop. (1901) 459. Bleaching, the
chief
  industry,
dates
  from 1774, when the bleaching-field was formed. By means of an old aqueduct, said to have been built by the Romans, it was provided with water from the Almond, the properties of which render it specially suited for bleaching. Huntingtower (originally Ruthven) Castle, a once formidable structure, was the
scene
  of the Raid of Ruthven (pron. Rivven), when the
Protestant
  lords, headed by William, 4th Lord Ruthven and 1st
earl
  of Gowrie (1J41-1584), kidnapped the boy-king James VI., on the 22nd of August 1582. The
earl
 's sons were slain in the attempt (known as the Gowrie conspiracy) to capture James VI. (1600), consequent on which the Scots
parliament
  ordered the name of Ruthven to be abolished, and the barony to be known in future as Huntingtower.
