The Monteaths had been tenant farmers in the area east and north of Dunblane for generations and as far as I can tell he was the first one to become a landowner.

His son John, , bought out his brothers' shares in Duchally in 1805 and became the sole owner.
He took up residence in 1813 when Agnes his youngest child was 4 years old.
The house has been completely rebuilt and added to since her time.
Ruthven Barry Monteath sold Duchally in the 1950s and it is now a Country Hotel with its own web page. There are timeshare villas in the grounds which add to the revenue of the property but unfortunately not so much to its rural beauty. It is nicely located just up the road from Gleneagles.

Monteith History

The name Monteith, also seen spelled as Monteath, is of territorial origin, coming from Monteith in south-west Perthshire.

In 1237, Malcolm de Manetheth appeared as a witness, whist a Colin de Mentaghe who was a juror on an inquisition at Perth in 1305, may also be Kilinus de Mineteth who was perpetual vicar of Kaledrach in the Dunblane diocese in 1322.

In Norwich, in 1396, a William of Mentethe was arrested for violation of a truce.

In 1525, Johen of Mentecht was a juror on an assize in Stirling, and there is a David Munteitht who held lands in Glasgow in 1550.

Both in Glasgow, there was a William Mwntheicht who was a witness in 1553, and a Patrick Mynteith was a burgess freeman in 1611.

Other recorded spellings of the name include Manteeth, Mentayth, Menthet, Mentheth, Menynteth, Montecht, Munteith, Muntethe, Mwnteitht, Mynteth, and Myntethe.
