Perth
Perth 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 largest, and, in all respects, most important counties of Scotland. It is situated in the centre of the kingdom, and connects the northern Highlands with the southern Lowlands, and the Highlands of the west with the Lowlands on the east.
Though the county is strictly inland, it stretches sufficiently far along the navigable parts of the Tay and the Forth, to enable the inhabitants of Perth, of the Carse of Gowrie, and of the Culross and Tulliallan district, to conduct a considerable sea-ward trade.
Also known as Perthshire.
