House & Family History: Murthly is probably most famous today as the home of Sir William Drummond Stewart (1795-1871), a noted 19th century adventurer and British military officer. For a seven-year period in the 1830s Sir William traveled extensively in the American West, taking along the American artist Alfred Jacob Miller, who sketched and painted the Rocky Mountains and the daily life of Native Americans.

Collections: A large collection, now dispersed, of Alfred Jacob Miller's paintings of the American West once hung in Murthly.
