On 11 May 1559, Perth Charterhouse or Perth Priory, a monastic house of Carthusian monks based at Perth, Scotland were attacked and destroyed by Protestant "reformers". King James VI of Scotland granted the buildings and the gardens of the house to the burgh of Perth in August 1569, though the house remained in notional operation, being held by commendators until 1602 and the final suppression of the monastery.
