County of Perth -- Parish of Monzievaird and Strowan
"In the lower part of the
parish there are three small lakes, well-stocked
with pike, perch, trout, carp tench and eel.
The largest of these, the Loch of Monzievaird, already noticed, covers about
30 Scotch acres. It is situated at the base of a fine hanging wood, having
a southern exposure, in the midst of which stands the mansion-house of Ochtertyre. The
lake is surrounded by the pleasure grounds and plantations,and the scenery around
it is equal to any in Scotland. For many years up to 1814, shell-marl was dragged
from the bottom of this lake by means of a floating-machine, in many places from a depth of 25 feet, which
was sold at about £.0.1.1 per boll. In the year 1809, no less a quantity than 10,585 bolls were raised, and
sold for £.573.7.7.½ . This manure was very extensively used in the district, and with great utility, especially
in the cultivation of waste land. It was also particularly adapted for producing fine grass, and
contributed much to raise the beautiful pastures with which the parish is clothed.***
In1805.a bronze head of a spear was raised from the lake of Ochtertyre.
