One of the south-western counties of Scotland, and the most
important county of the country. It ranks only tenth among
Scottish counties as to area, but is by far the most populous
- containing, indeed, as many inhabitants as the three next
in order all taken together, and very nearly a quarter of
the whole population of Scotland - and the most valuable,
as the valuation, exclusive of burghs, is greater than that
of the next two in order taken both together. It is bounded
N by Stirlingshire and a detached portion of Dumbartonshire,
NE by Stirlingshire, Linlithgowshire, and Edinburghshire,
E by Peebleshire, SE and S by Dumfriesshire, SW by Dumfriesshire
and Ayrshire and W by Ayrshire, Renfrewshire and Dunbartonshire."
