Research and presentation by Dr Eileen Stewart on the fascinating life of Peter Grant of Blairfindy.

The lands of Blairfindy lie on the west bank of the River Livet near its confluence with the Avon, in proximity to the remote Catholic seminary at Scalan which trained priests from 1717 to 1799 despite the anti-Catholic sentiment which abounded. Abbe’ Peter Grant (1708-1784) was a Scottish Roman Catholic priest who received training in Rome and served the Scottish Catholic Mission in Scotland and in Rome.

Reputedly a Jacobite, he later became an essential contact and cultural guide for various distinguished British subjects visiting Rome. Sir James Grant (“The Good Sir James”) was one such visitor and the insights provided by Abbe’ Peter Grant inspired him to collect treasures of art and sculpture from the continent for Castle Grant.

On 23rd January 2024 I was diagnosed as being neurodivergent which was kind of a surprise to me, funny enough not to anyone that knows me.

Although surprising this pretty much answered my full life and why I am the way I am. So come join me in a show where I’ll give you a 1st hand insight from my delusional eyes to what goes on in my ever expanding mind with stories of how I’ve manage to survive through a life of total confusement to how and why I now prefer to be alone, mostly!

Meet & greet included.
