Comments:
When James Kemp Lawson was tenant here, according to the 1891-2 Valuation Roll "Scuttrie Mill" and "Scuttrie Farm" as they were then known was part of the Estate of Craigievar owned by the Trustees of Lord Sempill, they owned most of the parish and Colonel Sir William Samuel Seton of Cushnie owned most of the rest of the parish, the world was "ill pairted" even then.
Could "Scuttrie" have meant it was a scutter to run the place or was it a polite version of "skitterie" like the old "Skitterie burn" which at one time was no more than an open sewer which runs through the middle of Inverurie now with the name "Over Burn"
