Perthshire Connections
PERTHSHIRE, the county in Scotland where many of my ancestors were from.
~ PERTHSHIRE ~
"East midland county of Scotland,
bounded N. by Inverness-shire and Aberdeenshire,
E. by
Forfarshire,
SE. by Fife and Kinross-shire,
S. by Clackmannanshire and Stirlingshire,
SW. by Stirlingshire and
Dumbartonshire,
and W. by Argyllshire;
Perthshire
includes some of the grandest and most beautiful scenery in Scotland,
combining features characteristic both of the
Highlands and the Lowlands.
The ranges of the Ochils and the Sidlaw Hills, which are parted by the estuary of the
Tay,
occupy the SE.; while the N. and NW. districts,
to the extent of more than one-half of the entire county,
are
occupied with the mountains of the Grampian system.
This Highland region is intersected by numerous lochs
and glens."
(
from Bartholemew's Gazetteer of the British Isles, 1887 )
