Inverness-shire and Aberdeenshire, E. by Forfarshire, SE.
by Fife and Kinross-shire, S. by Clackmannanshire and Stirlingshire,
SW. by Stirlingshire and Dumbartonshire, and W. by Argyllshire;

by a belt of Fife and Clackmannanshire) is 6.25 miles by 4.5
miles; area, 1,617,808; pop. 129,007. Perthshire includes
some of the grandest and most beautiful scenery in Scotland,
combining features characteristic both of the Highlands and
the Lowlands. The ranges of the Ochils and the Sidlaw Hills,
which are parted by the estuary of the Tay, occupy the SE.;
while the N. and NW. districts, to the extent of more than
one-half of the entire county, are occupied with the mountains
of the Grampian system, this Highland region being intersected
by numerous lochs and glens.
