"15. There were also in Scalan in the time Mr. George Gordon was Superior [June 1727-August 1738], the sons of several gentlemen for their Education and Instruction in Religion, without any intention of their becoming Clergymen. Among these the present Mr. Gordon of Aberlour was one, and, if I am not mistaken, the sons of the families of Letterfury and Birkenbush were here also under Mr. George's care as Mr. Gordon of Glastirum, then very young, had been for a year or two with his predecessor."
