Boundary Changes 1889-92 : Perthshire

13.—COUNTY OF PERTH.

I.—COUNTY BOUNDARIES.

The county of Perth had four detached parts, viz., :—(a.) The parishes of Culross and Tulliallan, adjoining the counties of Fife and Kinross ; (b.) Part of the parish of Kippen, surrounded by the county of Stirling and (c.) and (d.) Two detached parts of the parish of Caputh, each surrounded by the county of Forfar. It contained two detached parts of other counties, viz., part of the county of Forfar, consisting of a detached part of the parish of Kettins, and part of the county of Stirling, consisting of part of the parish of Logie. There were twelve parishes situated partly in the county of Perth and partly in other counties, viz., Abernethy, Alloa, Alyth, Arngask, Caputh, Coupar-Angus, Forgandenny, Fossoway & Tulliebole, Kippen, Lecropt, Liff Benvie & Invergowrie, and Logie. It was also found necessary to deal with the parish of Fowlis-Easter, which is for certain purposes united to the Forfarshire parish of Lundie.

The county boundaries have been dealt with as follows :—

A. With the County of Clackmannan

1.—Alloa.

A very small portion of the parish of Alloa was situated in Perthshire, the rest of the parish being in the county of Clackmannan. It extended to about 3 acres, was situated at Gogar Haugh, and is the property of Mrs. Merries Stirling. By the Order printed at p. 50, no change was made in the county boundary, but this small portion of Alloa was transferred to the parish of Logie and to the county of Stirling. See County of Stirling, Logie, infra, p. 276.

B. With the County of Fife.

1.—Abernethy.

The parish of Abernethy was situated partly in the county of Fife and partly in the county of Perth. The division of the parishes between those two counties was correctly shown on the Survey maps, with this exception, that the lands of Easter Colzie, in the south east corner of the parish, should have been shown as part of the county of Fife. By the Order printed at p. 46 the whole of the lands of Easter Colzie, Nochnarrie, and Pitlour, to the county of Perth. These excepted lands remain in the county of Fife, being transferred to Fife parishes, Easter Colzie to Newburgh, and Nochnarrie and Pitlour to Strathmiglo. (See County of Fife, Abernethy, &c., infra, p. 256.)

The following subjects have thus (while remaining in the parish of Abernethy) been transferred from the county of Fife to the county of Perth :—

For changes on the parish of Abernethy see County of Fife, Abernethy, &c., p. 25.

(Sheets 40 and 48 of the Ordnance Survey maps of Scotland, one-inch scale.)

3.—Arngask.

The parish of Arngask was situated partly in the county of Fife, partly in the county of Kinross, and partly in the county of Perth. By the Order printed at p. 46 it has been placed wholly in the county of Perth.

The following subjects have thus (while remaining in the parish of Arngask) been transferred from the county of Fife to the county of Perth :—

For subjects transferred from Kinross to Perth, see Arngask, infra, p. 203.

(Sheet 40 of the Ordnance Survey maps of Scotland, one-inch scale.)

3.—Culross and Tulliallan.

These parishes formed a detached part of Perthshire, lying on the Forth between the counties of Clackmannan and Fife. They have now transferred to the county of Fife by the Order printed at p. 45.

For details see (County of Fife, Culross and Tulliallan, infra, p. 251.

C. With the County of Forfar.

1.—Alyth.

The parish of Alyth was situated partly in the county of Forfar and partly in the county of Perth. By the Order printed at p. 45 it has been placed wholly in the county of Perth.

The following subjects have thus (while remaining in the parish of Alyth) been transferred from the county of Forfar to the county of Perth :—

(Sheet 50 of the Ordnance Survey maps of Scotland, one-inch scale.)

3.—Caputh

In adjusting the boundaries between Forfarshire and Perthshire it was necessary to deal with three of the eight detached parts of the parish of Caputh. The whole of the parish except these three detached parts was situated in the main portion of the county of Perth. One of these three detached parts formed part of the county of Forfar. It was situated at Balbeuchly, and has been annexed to the parish of Auchterhouse (see County of Forfar, Auchterhouse, &c., supra, p. 192). The remaining two of those three detached parts were also detached parts of the county of Perth. The one was situated at Foffarty, and has been transferred to the county of Forfar and to the parish of Kinnettles. The other was situated at Broughty Castle, and has been transferred to the county of Forfar, and to the parish of Monifieth (see County of Forfar, Caputh, supra, p. 168).

For other changes on the parish of Caputh, see Caputh, infra, p. 236.

3.—Coupar-Angus.

The parish of Coupar-Angus was situated partly in the county of Forfar and partly in the county of Perth. By the Order printed at p. 37 it has been placed wholly in the county of Perth.

The subjects thus transferred are for the most part situated in the police burgh of Coupar-Angus. The county boundary previously ran through the town. It now follows the eastern boundary of the parish of Coupar-Angus, and accordingly all subjects in the town of Coupar-Angus are now placed within the county of Perth. It would serve no good purpose to enumerate the various small properties and their proprietors.

The following subjects have been transferred from the county of Forfar to the county of Perth :—

The Town of Coupar-Angus, in so far as previously in Forfarshire, including subjects in Abbey, Abbeyhill Road, Dundee Road, Millar Street, Precinct Street, Queen Street, and Thornally Road. Also the following subjects :—

(Sheet 48 of the Ordnance Survey maps of Scotland, one-inch scale.)

4.—Fowlis-Easter.

This parish, which was united for educational and other purposes with the Forfarshire parish of Fowlis-Easter, has been transferred to the county of Forfar by the Order printed at p. 37.

For details see County of Forfar, Fowlis-Easter, supra, p. 189.

5.—Kettins.

The parish of Kettins had a detached part which was also a detached part of the county of Forfar. It was situated at Bandirran, and adjoined the Forfarshire parishes of Collace, Kinnaird, and St Martins, and a detached part of Caputh. By the Order printed at p.38 this detached part has been transferred to the parish of Collace and to the county of Perth.

The following subjects have thus been transferred from the county of Forfar to the county of Perth (and at the same time from the parish of Kettins to the parish of Collace) :—

For subjects in the parish of Arngask transferred from the county of Fife to the county of Perth, see Arngask, supra, p. 199.

(Sheet 40 of the Ordnance Survey maps of Scotland, one-inch scale.)

2.—Forgandenny and Forteviot.

The parish of Forgandenny was situated partly in the county of Kinross and partly in the county of Perth. By the Order printed at p. 47 the Kinross-shire part was transferred to Perthshire, and it was at the same time transferred to the parish of Forteviot.

The parish of Fossoway & Tulliebole was situated partly in the county of Kinross and partly in the county of Perth. By the Order printed at p. 48 a small portion of the Perthshire part of the parish was transfrred to the parish of Glendevon, and the parish of Fossoway & Tulliebole, as thus altered in area, was placed wholly in county of Kinross.

For details see Blackford, &c., infra, p. 220, and County of Kinross,Fossoway, &c., infra, p. 267.

E. With the County of Stirling.

1.—Alloa.

A small part of the parish of Alloa was situated in the county of Perth, adjoining the Perthshire part of the parish of Logie. By the Order printed at p. 50 it has been transferred to the county of Stirling and to the parish of Logie. See County of Stirling, Logie, infra, p. 278, or County of Clackmannan, Alloa, infra, p. 271.

2.—Kippen.

The parish of Kippen was situated partly in the county of Perth and partly in the county of Stirling. A portion of the Perthshire part of the parish was also a detached part of Perthshire. The whole parish has now been placed in the county of Stirling by the Order printed at p. 52.

For details see County of Stirling, Kippen, supra, p. 278.

3.—Lecropt.

The parish of Lecropt was situated partly in the county of Perth and partly in the county of Stirling, By the Order printed at p. 50 that part of the parish which lay to the east of the west boundary of the Scottish Central Railway line was transferred to the parish of Logie. At this time a small part of the parish of Logie which lay to the west of the west boundary of that railway, and on the right bank of the Allan Water, was transferred to the parish of Lecropt. Then the parish of Lecropt, as thus altered in area, was placed wholly in the county of Perth.

The following subjects were thus transferred from the county of Stirling to the county of Perth

(1.) Part of the parish of Logie transferred at the same time to the parish of Lecropt.

(2.) Part of the parish of Lecropt (which continues to form part of that parish).

(Sheet 39 of the Ordnance Survey maps of Scotland, one-inch scale.)

4.—Logie.

The parish of Logie was situated partly in the county of Clackmannan, partly in the the county of Perth, and partly in the county of Stirling. Part of the Clackmannanshire portion formed a detached portion of that county. The effect of the Order which deals with this parish (printed at p. 60) may be described in general terms as follows:—

The area of the parish has been altered (1) by the disjunction of the portions attached to the main portion of the parish of Clackmannan, and of the small portion already noticed (Lecropt, supra) as having been transferred to the parish of Lecropt ; and (2) by the addition of the Perthshire part of Alloa parish and of portions of Lecropt parish east of the west boundary of the Scottish Central Railway line. The parish, as thus altered in area, was placed wholly in the county of Stirling.

For details see County of Stirling, Logie, infra, p. 282.

II.—PARISH BOUNDARIES.

The boundaries of the Perthshire parishes were unusually complicated, and presented problems of great difficulty and complexity. Owing to the manner in which parishes were entangled with each other, it is necessary to deal with them for the most part in groups, with the view of securing that the changes on each parish shall be detailed in one group. This is possible in the case of all parishes except, two, viz. the parish of Caputh, of which detached parts were scattered without the slightest regard to geographical convenience, and the parish of Dunkeld & Dowally, one detailed part of which will be dealt with in a differrent group from that in which the main portion of the parish is placed. In all cases the usual cross references are given.

1.—Abernethy.

The parish of Abernethy has been altered in area through the transference of certain parts of the parish which were formerly in Fife to the Fife parishes of Newburgh and Strathmiglo by the Order printed at p. 46.

For details see County of Fife, Abernethy ,&c., infra, p. 256.

2.—Auchterader and Dunning.

Each of these parishes had a small detached part, there being, however, this peculiarity that the detached part of Dunning was separated from the main portion of Dunning only by the detached part of Auchterarder. By the Order printed at p. 53 the detached part of Auchterarder was transferred to Dunning, and thus the detached part of Dunning has been united to the main portion of the parish. The detached part of Auchterarder lay in the north—west corner of Dunning parish.

The area thus transferred from the parish of Auchterarder to the parish of Dunning was—

(Sheet 47 of the Ordnance Survey maps of Scotland, one-inch scale.)

3.—Auchtergaven, Corie, Crieff, Fowlis-Wester, Little Dunkeld, Methven, Moneydie, Monzie, Moxzievaird & Strowan, Muthill, and Redgorton.

Out of these eleven parishes eight had to be dealt with as having detached parts. The other three (Comrie, Little Dunkeld, and Muthill) were affected by the manner in which those detached parts were treated. For the sake of clearness it may be well to tabulate the condition of the eight parishes referred to, with reference to their detached parts.

These parishes are all dealt with in one Order (printed at p. 53).

The following are the changes made, the subjects affected being detailed as usual under the parishes to which they are transferred :—

It would serve no purpose to enumerate the subjects affected in the town of Dunkeld, but the following are the subjects in the landward part of the parish of Caputh which have now been transferred to the parish of Dunkeld & Dowally :—

The part of the town of Dunkeld includes subjects in Athole Street and lane, Bridge Street, Burgess Brae, Hillhead, Hill Street, High Street, and Tay Terrace.

(Sheet 48 of the Ordnance Survey maps of Scotland, one-inch scale.)

8.—Cargill, Kettins, Kinfauns, Kinnoull, St. Madoes, St. Martins, and Scone.

Of these parishes only Kettins, Kinnoul, and Scone had detached parts. The method of dealing with the detached part of Kettins has already been considered (supra, p. 302), but the parochial authorities of Kettins also claimed that the area marked on the Ordnance Survey maps as a detached part of Scone was really part of the parish of Kettins, in the county of Perth. The other parishes were effected incidentally by the treatment of three detached parts.

The following table shows their number and situation

The district at West Kinnochtry fell to be dealt with by Commissioners whether it belonged to Scone or to Kettins. In first case it was a detached part; in the second case, the parish of Kettins was situated in more counties than one.

The following are the changes effected by the Order printed at p. 70.

(1.)—Cargill.

The district at West Kinnochtry, whether considered as a detached part of Scone or as a part of the parish of Kettins situated in the county of Perth (the rest of the parish being in the county of Forfar), was by Clause VI. of the Order (supra, p. 72) annexed to Cargill.

The following subjects have thus been transferred from the parish of Scone (or the parish of Kettins) to the parish of Cargill :—

(a.) By Clause I. of the Order supra, p. 71) part of Kinnoull detached No. 1, therein described, was transferred to the parish of Scone.—See Scone, infra, p. 243.

(b.) By Clause IV. of the Order (supra, p. 71) Kinnoull detached No. 2 was divided. as therein described, between the parishes of Kinfauns and St. Madoes.—See Kinfauns, supra, p. 240, and St. Madoes, infra, p. 242.

(c.) By Clause V. of the Order (supra, p. 72) Kinnoull detached No. 2 was transferred to the parish of St. Martin.—See St. Martin, infra, p. 242.

The following subjects have thus been transferred from the parish of Scone to the parish of Kinnoull :—

(e.) By Clause III. of the Order (supra, p. 71) the part of Kinfauns therein described was annexed to Kinnoull.

The following subjects have thus been transferred from the parish of Kinfauns to the parish of Kinnoull :—

(Sheet 48 of the Ordnance Survey maps of Scotland, one-inch scale.)

(4.)—St. Madoes.

By Clause IV. of the Order (supra, p. 71) the western portion of Kinnoull detached No. 2, as therein particularly described, was annexed to St. Madoes.

The following subjects have thus been transferred from the parish of Kinnoull to the parish of St. Madoes.

(Sheet 48 of the Ordnance Survey maps of Scotland, one—inch scale.)

(5.)—St. Martins.

By Clause V. of the Order (supra, p. 72) Kinnoull detached No. 3 was annexed to St. Martins. The detached part includes the whole of the village of Balbeggie, as to which it would serve no good purpose to detail the subjects and proprietors. It is sufficient to state that the village of Balbeggie is now situated wholly within the parish of St Martins.

The following subjects have been transferred from the parish of Kinnoull to the parish of St. Martins :—

(Sheet 48 of the Ordnance Survey maps of Scotland, one-inch scale.)

(6.)—Scone.

(a.) By Clause VI. of the Order printed at p. 70 the detached part of Scone was transferred to the parish of Cargill.— See Cargill, supra, p. 240.

By Clause II of the Order (supra, p. 71) the part of Scone transferred to the parish of Kinnoull. p, 241.

(Sheet 48 of the Ordnance Survey maps of Scotland, one-inch scale.)

9.—Dron and Dunbarney.

The parish of Dron had a detached part lying to the west of the main portion of the parish, and disunited from it by a narrow intervening strip of the parish of Dunbarney. By the Order printed at p. 72 the greater portion of this intervening strip was annexed to Dron, and the detached part of Dron in this way being united with the main portion of the parish.

The following subjects have thus been transferred from the parish of Dunbarney to the parish of Dron :—

(Sheet 48 of the Ordnance Survey maps of Scotland, one-inch scale.)

10.—Forgandenny and Forteviot.

The parish of Forteviot had two detached parts. Forteviot detached No. 1 was situated at Whitehlll, and lay on the south east side of the parish of Forgandenny. Forteviot detached No. 2 was situated at Hilton Junction, and lay on the north side of Forgandenny. Already explained (supra, p. 204) the parish of Forgandenny was partly in the county of Kinross and partly in the county of Perth. By the Order printed at p. 47 the following changes were effected

Forteviot detached No. 2 was annexed to Forgandenny; and (b.) so much of Forgamlonny as lay south west of the River May was annexed to the parish of Forteviot the main portion of Forteviot being thus united with Forteviot detached No. 1. The portion of Forgandenny thus transferred includes the portion formerly in Kinross-shire, but the Order provides that this district shall be transferred to Perthshire.

The following are the subjects affected :—

(a.) Transferred from the parish of Forteviot to the parish of Forgandenny.

(b.) Transferred from the parish of Forgandenny to the parish of Forteviot.

(Sheets 40 and 48 of the Ordnance Survey maps of Scotland, one-inch scale.)

11.—Kilmadock and Kincardine.

Part of the parish of Kincardine situated at Thornhill was separated from the main portion of the parish by the southern part of the parish of Kilmadock. By the Order printed at p. 73 an exchange of territory was effected between these two parishes. Part of the detached part and most of the main portion of Kincardine were given to Kilmadock, and the remainder of the detached port was united to the main portion of Kincardine by the annexation to Kincardine of a small intervening part of Kilmadock. Clause I. of the Order describes the portion of Kilmadock given to Kincardine. The line can be easily followed when it is explained that the starting-point lies north-east of Ramoth. The line described in Clause II. runs along the road which leads from Bridge of Teith south-west to Ramoth. The line described in Clause III. can be laid down approximately on the one-inch maps from the description.

The following subjects are affected :—

(1.) Transferred from the parish of Kilmadock to the parish of Kincardine.

(2. ) Transferred from the parish of Kincardine to the parish of Kilmadock—

(Sheet 39 of the Ordnance Survey maps of Scotland, one-inch scale.)

12.—Lecropt.

The parish of Lecropt was situated partly in the county of Perth and partly in the county of Stirling. The parish has now been placed wholly in the county of Perth, but its area is altered somewhat. Under the Order printed at p. 51, (1) it received the addition of a small portion of the parish of Logie lying west of the Scottish Central Railway line, and (2) there was transferred to the parish of Logie all that part of the Stirlingshire portion of Lecropt which lay to the east of the west boundary of the railway.

For particulars as to the changes thus effected, are Lecropt, supra, p. 205, and County of Stirling, Logie, infra, p. 280.

13.—Perth and Tibbermore.

The parish of Tibbermore had two detached parts, both of which were wholly surrounded by the parish of Perth. Tibbermore detached No. 2, situated at York Place, Perth, was situated wholly within the parliamentary and municipal boundary of the burgh of Perth, and the greater portion of Tibbermore detached No. 1 was also situated within the main boundary. The effect of the Order printed at p. 74 is to transfer to the parish of Perth the whole of Tibbermore detached No. 1 and so much of Tibbermore detached No. 2 as lies within the municipal boundaries of the burgh of Perth, and to transfer to the parish of Tibbermore that part of Perth parish which lay north of the Scouring Burn and west and north of the west and north burgh boundaries.

The following subjects are affected.—

(1.) Transferred from the parish of Tibbermore to the parish of Perth.

The subjects are too numerous to particularise, but they consist of all those subjects in the parish of Tibbermore which are entered in the valuation roll of the City of Perth for the year 1890-91. These include, inter alia, part of the lands of Tullylumb, belonglng to the Glovers Incorporation of Perth, but it must be noted that part of these lands (part of Over Tullylumb and Wellshill) being outside the burgh parliamentary boundary.

(2.) Transferred from the parish of Perth to the parish of Tibbermore.

Burghmuir.-The whole of Burghmuir, so far as previously in the landward part of the parish of Perth, has been transferred to the parish of Tibbermore. The number of small subjects is too numerous to detail.They are situated at North Bellfield, South Bellfield, Gowrie Bank, Jeanfield, Lilybank, &c. The following are, however, the more important subjects transferred

(Sheet 48 of the Ordnance Survey maps of Scotland, one-inch scale.)

EXPLANATORY NOTES

1. The counties are arranged in the order as in the Census returns, "such that a zig-zag line beginning at the north of Scotland and carried to the south passes successively through every County". The counties have the same numbers as in the Census returns.

2. The subjects transferred are enumerated under the head of the County or Parish to which they are transferred. Thus when an area has been transferred from County A to County B, the subjects affected are enumerated under County B, and a cross reference is given under County A.

3. The names of subjects are those contained in the Valuation Rolls. In the description of subjects the term "farm" includes the farm-house and servants' houses, and the term "croft" includes the house. But where any of the servants' houses on the farm have distinctive names, such houses are detailed separately. "House" includes "cottage", and "land" includes gardens, yards &c.

4. The names of proprietors are in almost all cases those given in The Valuation Rolls of 1890-91. It is therefore to be borne in mind that those who are described as proprietors may be limited owners only, such as liferenters or leaseholders.

5. Where villages or towns are affected, the names of the subjects and proprietors are not usually given. The description of the area transferred is in such cases quite sufficient to show whatever and to what extent any subject in the village or town has been affected by the Order.

6. The Ordnance Survey maps referred to are those published by the Ordnance Survey Department on the scale of one inch to the mile. Those published down to this date (1891), show the Counties and Parishes as they were before the Order of the Commissioners came into operation. It is expected that, when the work of the Commissioners is completed, revised maps will be issued to show the altered boundaries, but the sheets of the revised maps will bear the same numbers as the present maps. The Orders and the explanations can be followed readily on the maps as published at present.

7. An ampersand (&) has been used wherever a County or a Parish has a double name, e.g. "Ross & Cromarty" or "Fetlar & North Yell".

8. In most cases it is necessary to read the text of the order along with the explanation, because the full descriptions contained in the Orders are, as a rule, not repeated in the explanation.
