Stirlingshire
Stirlingshire 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 county lying on both sides of the boundary-line between the southern and the central of the three great physical divisions of Scotland, and on both sides also of the boundary between the Lowlands and the Highlands.
Two small districts, consisting of the parish of Alva, and part of the paris of Logie, lie in detached positions a little way to the north, and are dovetailed into the marches of Perthshire and Clackmannanshire.
The rest of the county is bounded on the north by Perthshire; on the north-east by the Forth, which divides it from Clackmannanshire, and the detached or Culross section of Perthshire; on the east and south-east by Linlithgowshire; on the south by Lanarkshire and the detached or Cumbernauld and Kirkintilloch section of Dumbartonshire; on the south-west by the main body of Dumbartonshire; and on the west by Loch Lomond, which divides it from Dumbartonshire.
Also known as Stirling.
