"Stormont a district of Perthshire, bounded on the east by the Ericht, on the south by the Isla and Tay; on the west by the Tay, and on the north by the frontier mountain rampart of the Highlands, from the foot of Strathardle, to a little distance south of the foot of Strath-Tummel. The district measures 14 miles in length from east to west, and about 7 or 8 in mean breadth. It comprehends the greater part of the parishes of Blairgowrie, Kinloch, Clunie, Caputh and Dunkeld, all Lethendy and abouth a third of Bendochy. In an exquisite combination of land, wood and water, lowland expanses, and Highland barriers, luscious dales, romantic glens, and picturesque lochlets, this district, though excelled in its turn for other combinations, or for a higher perfection for some of the scenic elements, excels every other, in even panoramic Perthshire *** Stormont gave, in 1621, the title of Viscount in the peerage of Scotland to the ancestor of the nobleman who, in 1792, was raised jointly to an earldom and to the peerage of the United Kingdom by the title of Earl of Mansfield."
