Inverness-shire
Inverness-shire is an historic county of Scotland. (For more information about the ancient counties of the UK, see the historic counties page and the place types page.)
From The Topographical, Statistical, and Historical Gazetteer of Scotland, 1847:
One of the most extensive counties, and by far the most mountainous, in Scotland.
It is bounded on the north by Ross-shire, and part of the Moray frith; on the east by the shires of Elgin, Moray, and Aberdeen; on the south by Perth and Argyle; and on the west by the Atlantic ocean.
Inverness-shire contains one royal burgh, viz. Inverness, and several small villages. The Gaelic is the language of the people on the northern, western, and southern borders; but, in the neighborhood of Inverness, the better sort use the English language, which, it is said, is here pronounced with as great propriety as in any part of Scotland.
Also known as Inverness.
