Airthrey Mill No.1 (Excise No 40) before 1784
Airthrey Mill No.2 (Excise No 38) ca 1794
Keir Mill (Excise No 44) ca 1794
Wrote to Commissioners of the Annexed Estates on 16 December 1775
to say that they had recently put up a papermill. They were having
cash flow problems. Barnet was probably the landowner and Ferguson
the millwright. John Ferguson converted the cornmills at Airthrey
and Keir to papermaking and built a second mill at Airthrey.
Auchterarder Walkmiln (Excise No 2) was erected in 1775 by James
Barnet of Castlemains and John Ferguson of Shinafoot. In 1794 all
three mills were making calender paper used in clothmaking. He was
involved in the smuggling of paper. He was arrested and sentenced
to pay a fine of £999,000. Meanwhile his brother Robert ran the
papermills at Bridge of Allen, and his son also Robert the one at
Auchterarder. All three mills were taken over by James Macrobie in
1808. After two years in prison John Ferguson was released. He died
in 1810 aged 77. Robert Ferguson, son of John was at Auchterarder
when he died in 1823. Alexander Ferguson then took it over.

Murray was the first editor and printer of The Fifehire
Journal, a tory rejoinder the whig Fife Herald. He
was an Edinburgh journalist who had worked on The Edinburgh
Correspondent, and The Edinburgh Courant before
taking on The Journal. In January 1836, the paper was
acquired by Cupar writer, William Pagan, and James Moore Graham, a
medical practitioner, and the paper was moved to Cupar. The man who
moved the press was the paper's printer John Jeffers Wilson. He
soon left the paper because he 'Found too many masters there'. In
addition to the owners he had to deal with the publishers, the
Cupar booksellers Gardner and Anderson. Wilson was followed by
David Abercromby November 1836-May 1837; and then by James Tod who
held the post of printer from May 1837-November 1849. In March
1851, William Pagan and James Moore Graham sold their interest in
The Journal to David Page.
