Parochial Economy
Stipends
At the first establishment of the Reformed church, the reader's stipend
was L. 25 Scots. Mr David Bassillie's stipend before 1631 was 340
merks Scots, and on 25th March of that year was augmented by the commission,
with consent of the titular of the teinds, to 300 merks money and half
a chalder of victual, half bear and half meal, during his incumbency, and
afterwards another half chalder was to be added, and this without prejudice
to any augmentation to be modified out of the teinds of Gogar. The
stipend in 1755 amounted to L.84, 11s. 1d., and in 1798 to L. 175, 16s.
8d.
