Lawers, a mansion in Monzievaird and Strowan parish, Upper Strathearn, Perthshire, 2 miles ENE of Comrie. A large two-story edifice, Italian in style, with beautifully wooded grounds, it is the seat of David Robertson Williamson, Esq. (b. 1830; suc. 1852), who holds 29,494 acres in the shire, valued at £4543 per annum. The estate, originally called Fordie, was long possessed by a branch of the Campbells, who came from the foot of Ben Lawers, and were ancestors of the Earls of Loudoun. An ancient chapel, to the SW of the mansion, was their burial place down to the close of last century.—Ord. Sur., sh. 47, 1869.
