"Strathmore, or 'The Great Valley' the noble and far stretching band of low country which skirts the frontier mountain rampart of the highlands, is flanked along the hither side by the lennox, the Ochil, and the Sidlaw hills, and extends from the centre of the mainbed of Dumbartonshire to the German Ocean at Stonehaven. In this large sense it is exceedingly various in breadth, as well as in the features of strath-ground; and comprehends part of Stirlingshire, all Strathallan, most part of Strathearn, and all the How of Angus in Kincardinshire. But the strath is more popularly and limitedly regarded as consisting only of what is flanked by the Sidlaw hills, and as extending from Methven in Perthshire to a point a little north-east of Brechin in Forfarshire; and, in this view, it is somwhat uniform in breadth and feature, and belonging principally to Forfarshire, has been succinctly described in our notice of that county. This great district is, in the aggregate, remarKably beautiful and fertile; it contains numerous towns, villages, and elegant mansions; it is the seat of a great and industrious population; and it is now opened up by Railroad, and attracts throngs to survey its wealth of manufacures and of landscape. Strathmore gives the title of Earl to the noble family of Lyon; who before 1450, had the dignity of Baron Glammis, and in 1606 were created Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorn, Viscount Lyon, Baron Tannadyce, Sidlaw and Stradichie"

[notes] Stanley Church - Revd [Reverend] J. Baxters replies at the end of N. [Name] Book.
Stanley Church is private property and seems to be merely licensed for the performance of Divine Worship by the Presbytery of Perth. It is therefore neither a Quoad Sacra Church or a Chapel of Ease.
"Almost the only building worthy of notice in the parish is the Chapel of Ease,
now joined into the Ecclesiastical Church of Stanley. It is a very handsome structure, with
a tower 85 feet high on the northern end, and was erected at the expense of £3,000, laid
out solely by Denniston, Buchanan and Company, for the benefit of their work people
employed at their extensive cotton mills at Stanley. Being situated at the top of a bank,
of considerable elevation above the river, it forms an object of interest and ornament for
a great district of country around it"

"On the 4th June 1834, there were found under a large stone, close beside the Thistle Bridge, which is a rock of trap that crosses the Tay under the water, about 1500 coins of different reigns and dates. Of these 540 were dispersed among different individuals, of which no account can be now obtained; and 872 are in the possession of Mr. Greig, merchant in Perth, who holds them for sale."

It is stated in the New Statistical Account that "In 1789 there was found on the farm of Balmblair, at a place called the Dumbies Know, by
the side of a large stone, as many of Davids groats and half groats and Edwards pennies, as amounted to three pounds."
The situation or name of this Knowe is not known in the locality, and not one person in the neighbourhood can point out where the money was found. This is also the case with respect to most of the Cairns (stated in the New Statistical Account) to be in this parish, as they have been carefully looked after by the examiners. |

Supposed Site of the Ancient Town BERTHA |
(Site of) Bertha |

Mr P Gorrie
General Roy's Military Antiquities |
085 |
The following extract is taKen from the "Topographical Statistical and Historical gazetteer of Scotland" Vol. [Volume] 2nd page 586. - on the point of the peninsula of the Tay and the Almond, anciently stood old Perth or Bertha and also, as the author of Caledonia thinKs, the Roman station Urrea." No traces of this ancient town are now to be seen; part of its site on the North of the Almond is planted with wood. The following extract is taken from Roy's Military Antiquities. - "Orrea is the next station we are to search for at a distance of 14 miles from Hierua and two from Perth. where are to be seen vestiges of Bertha or Perth. That this was a place of consequence as being sometimes the residence of the Kings of Scotland, is certain from the particulars which Buchannan relates of the inundation of the Tay, which in one night's time swept the greatest part of the town away. This happened towards the end of William's reign who died in 1214. |

[note] No evidence can be obtained as to this being a Roman town but it evidently was a Pictish one.
It seems a mistake to suppose that Perth occupied the site here indicated up to 1214, as several charters still extant prove, which are referred to in the Statistical Account of Scotland P. [Page] 24-5 - and one of which clearly proves that Perth occupied its present position in 1199, before the inundations alluded to which happened in 1210. |

(Site of) Orrea |

Extract from New Statistical Account.
"Chambers has shown in his Caledonia that the Roman station Orrea was situated at the confluence of the Tay and the Almond in this parish. The Roman road from Ardoch leads upon this station; and is again discovered on the opposite side of the Tay, a little above the parallel of the Almond"
No remains of this station are now to be seen, part of its site is planted with wood. The following extract is taken from General Roy's Military Antiquities,
"Here the Roman may have crossed the Tay, and the houses on the opposite bank are still called Rome. From so many concurring circumstances, but especially from the distance between it and Hurria (14 miles) corresponding so well with that assigned by Richard in his Itinerary, there seems to be sufficient ground to conclude that the ancient Bertha must have been the Orrea of the Romans."
Its site was pointed out by Mr Hamilton Berthapark. No traces of the Road between this station and Ardoch can be discovered for a considerable distance from Orrea. |
