016; 023; 024; 030; 031 | "A parish in the Grampian district of Forfarshire bounded on the north-east by the northern division of the parish of Kirriemuir; on the East by the parish of Kingoldrum; on the South by the parish of Airlie; and on the West by the parish of Glenisla. The parish lies in the outskirts of the Grampians, & is for the most part, a sea of heights above the level of Strathmore, of bleak, barren, and chilly aspect. Along the Southern boundary, & some way up the middle of the interior on the banks of the principal streams, are sloping belts of arable ground. The heights are, for the most part, heathy: & in the north corner, are wild and desolate. The River Isla flows for 5½ miles along the western & southern boundaries. Back Water rises in the north corner, traverses a deep mountain furrow or narrow vale called Glen Damff. [continued on page 2] |
