Lanarkshire
Lanarkshire 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:
A large, wealthy, and important county in the western division of the Lowlands, and the most populous in Scotland.
It is bounded by the counties of Dumbarton and Stirling on the north; Dumfries-shire on the south; Ayr and Renfrewshire on the west; and Linlithgow, Edinburgh, and Peebles shires on the east.
...It is to her ample possession of the mineral treasures of coal, iron, and lead, that this shire owest its supremacy over all other districts in North Britain, and the majority of those in England.
