A royal charter dated 9th August 1569 directed that the endowments be administrated by the kirk sessions on behalf of the poor. Nowadays the elders of St. John’s Kirk and Letham St. Mark’s Church maintain this function. Beneficiaries must be over age 60 and live within the Burgh of Perth.

Why there's no Clarity Score yet
The Clarity Score is computed from full financial filing history. King James VI Hospital Trust is on the official register but outside the detailed-filing group we currently score (or awaiting its first filings), so we show its official register record instead of a rating. Its score appears automatically once enough filing data exists — never by payment. How scoring works
