This is an incredible compilation of information extracted from
The Weekly
News of Dundee pertaining to the city of Perth and to the various civil
divisions of Perthshire.
Written for a newspaper audience, it is a treasure trove of historical and
genealogical information on literally hundreds of families who were either
native to Perthshire or who held important lands and estates within the county.
To mention a few, Kinnoul and the Erskines; Scone and the Gowrie Family; The
Mowbrays; Methven Castle and Bruce; The Lawrences and Oliphants of Gask; The
Ruthvens; The Hays of Aberdalgie; The Wemyss Family of Rhynd; and The Blairs of
Balthayook. There is an enormous amount of Pictish material, as well as
extensive information on the Celtic Christian church and the Culdees of
Abernethy and other fabled sites.
