Hi everyone I have been searching on the National Library of Scotland website lately having a good search of the maps they have online. There is an 1898-1904 - ORDNANCE SURVEY - One-inch 2nd edition map of Scotland, with coloured parishes which may be of interest, but the better maps are the older ones. I have had great fun deciphering where these places actually were and trying to understand the text! I hope its ok to list the URL: http://www.nls.uk/digitallibrary/map/early/index.html Change the Geographic Area to Counties of Scotland and then hit Perthshire Regards Julia Dundee, Scotland >>> "JAMES MACKENZIE" <mackenzie_aldclune@btinternet.com> 08/11/2004 21:40:36 >>> Hi Carol Take care with the Kirkmichaels...there are/were five! In Ross & Cromarty (Dist No. 79), Ayr(600), Banff(160), Dumfries(836) and the one you want in Perth where the District Number is 370. A map would be useful but as districts changed over the years perhaps obtaining a list of all Perthshire Parishes (eg fromKathleen Cory's "Tracing Your Scottish Ancestry") Good book on its own anyway. Good luck Ian Mackenzie(in Perthshire) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carol Hassemer" <chassem1@usa.net> To: <PERTHSHIRE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, November 07, 2004 5:10 PM Subject: maps of parishes > Hello, > > Is there a recommended map of Perthshire parishes?
