062 | A district extending from Strath Bean along the south bank of the River Tay to the south-east boundary of Little Dunkeld parish, property of Sir William D Stewart Bart. [Baronet] Murthly Castle. "The arable and peopled tracts constitute three districts, each having a distinctive name, - Murthly, down the Tay, from Dunkeld Bridge to the southern boundary, - the Bishopric up the Tay, from Dunkeld Bridge to the northern boundary, - and Strathbean, from the junction of the two preceding, and transversely to them, up both sides of the Bran, to the western boundary. The southern and eastern parts of Murthly present an undulating surface. The soil is a kind of black loam mixed with sand, and tolerably fertile. There is a considerable tract of heath, a portion of which is now covered with fine woods. The northern part of the district below Inver is a deep, narrow vale along the Tay. It is adorned with oak-woods; and the bottom forms a stripe of good arable land. *** In Murthly there is an inexhaustible body of freestone of a fine grain and great hardness. It is of a light, vivid ash colour, and was used for building the cathedral of Dunkeld." Fullarton's Gazetteer. |
