He was elected Lord Provost of Perth in 1840 served until 1847. Lord Provost Charles Graham Sidey was one of the most versatile men of his day, and he needed to be. He lived in a period of commercial transition. He owed his middle name to his family's connection with Thomas Graham of Balgowan (afterwards Lord Lynedoch) While his godfather was fighting his country's battles in Spain, Charles Graham was developing a big business at the Perth Bridge end of George Street as a bookseller, stationer, and printer and he also held the office of postmaster in the days of the Royal mail coaches and Sir. Rowland Hill's introduction of the adhesive 1d postage stamps in 1840. At that time the postmaster of Perth was a non-Government man, and was assisted by one clerk and two letter deliverers; the staff of the Perth Post Office now number about 200 individuals. Sidey attended to the various occupations above-mentioned( and the Royal mail and private stage-coaches were then at the zenith of their enterprise and number) and yet he was able to give a good part of hiss time to the work of the Town Council. He was a most progressive Lord Provost, and held that office when Queen Victoria and Prince Albert first visited Scotland in 1842. Perth was included in the tour, and a well-known drawing shos a beautiful arch at Princes Street and Marshall Place. Lord Liverpool and Sir. Robert Peel accomanied and the military guard consisted of mounted carabineers. Lord Provost Sidey presented the silver keys of the city to the Queen, who retunred them with the gracious remard---"I am quite satisfied that they cannot possibly be in better hands". One of the stained glass windows in the Council Chambers was gifted by Lord Provost Sidey in rememberance of his six years as Lord Provost and his receiving the Queen in 1842. His reign of office also witnessed what was called the "railway peroid" in Perth, beginning with suggestions and negotiations and work in 1844 and ending in 1847-1848, making Perth the great railway centre it has continued to be. Lord Provost Sidey was "testimonialised" on demitting office. For many years Charles Graham Sidey lived at 2 Charlotte Street and latterly in 21 Barossa Place Perth with his third wife Sarah Barclay. An aged daughter of Lord Provost Sidey (Mrs.Carmichael) who lived until??? lived at Bon-Accor, Glasgow Road.

Notes:

of Biggs

1784, Bought Cauldhame for 1,500 pounds from John Robb 1797, Bought Duchally for 5,250 pounds from George Haldane

Will 1: 09 Nov 1801, Left Duchally equally to 3 sons Alexander, John & Henry Will 2: 09 Nov 1801, Left Cauldhame to eldest son Alexander

This John Monteath was Agnes' grandfather and was the one who purchased Duchally for the family. 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, Agnes' father, 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 so she grew up there and probably had fond memories of it. 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. My wife and I stayed there a few years back and they do very nice breakfasts. 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.
