pratiques," in his account of hospitals belonging to the popish clergy, that "these hospitals were erected either for receiving strangers, or for maintaining poor and infirm people, and they were governed by a superior who was called Magister." Among the hospitals which he enumerates is that of Seggieden," and Cardonnel in his picturesque antiquities of Scotland gives a list of twenty nine hospitals, one of which is Seggieden.

SEGGIEDEN afterwards belonged to George Hay, first Earl of Kinnoul, Lord High Chancellor of Scotland, who died in 1634, and was succeeded by George, the second Earl, who adhering to the fortunes of King CHARLES I. during the civil wars, contracted so much debt that he found it necessary to execute a deed of division, dated 1647, by which the lands and Barony of Seggieden were assigned, with others, to Sir Thomas Blair, of Balthayock. These lands were subsequently in 1652, purchased from the Blairs, by JOHN NAIRN.
