Historical Description
ANGUSSHIRE or Forfarshire, is a maritime county, bounded on the north by the county of Aberdeen; on the northeast by the German Sea; on the south by the Tay, which separates it from Fifeshire; and on the west by Perthshire : it measures from east to west about forty-five miles, and nearly as much from north to south.
This county formed a part of the Pictish dominions, till the year 518, when Kenneth II. divided it, and bestowed one half upon each of his two brothers, Angus and Mearns, hence the names. According to Camden, the Frith of Tay was the most northern boundary of the Roman Empire in Britain; that Agricola, going northward, saw no end of a barbarous country, and no advantage by the conquest of it; he therefore withdrew, and fixed the Roman eagle here; that though they frequently harassed the Picts, by incursions and inroads, they always returned to their posts here, making the Tay the frontier.
The northern part is mountainous, but the southern is more level and the soil fertile, producing wheat and other corn, with rich meadows and pasture lands. Between the ridges of the hills are fertile valleys, well watered, called glens, and taking their particular names from the rivulets that pass along them. The linen manufacture employs a great number of hands. Here are mines of lead and iron, but the chief exports are linen, corn, freestone, and slate.
The principal rivers are the Isla, or Ila, which rises from the Grampian hills, in the northwest part of the county, and runs into the Tay about five miles south-southwest from Cupar; the North Esk, which rises in the north part of the county, and runs into the German sea, four miles north from Montrose; and the South Esk, which rises in the north part of the county, passes by Brechin, and runs into the German Sea, a little below Montrose, Though there is both limestone and marl in this district, yet no pit coal has been discovered in it. Indeed the great want in this district is coal; they have limestone in several places, but the expense of coal for burning is so great, as in many places to preclude the use of lime as a manure. Besides pebbles of various kinds at Blackness, near Dundee, and East Balgray, nodules of porphyry are to be met with all along the coast. At Balmerino, two miles above Dundee, there are a variety of jasper rocks; and at Lithro, three miles from Balmerino, beautiful mochoes are found; chalcedony, with red and white carnelians, are often to be met with in this district; they are in nodules, and frequently turned up with the plough. Flints, in the shape of arrow heads, called by the country people elf-arrows, are found in the neighbourhood of Brechin and Montrose. Pebbles of various kinds are also found in the rotten rock near this place. Fine agates are picked up below the rocks of the Redhead, on the seashore. In the neighbourhood of Brechin pearls used frequently to be found of a fine water, and very large; they were found chiefly in the horse muscle in freshwater streams, but the practice of fishing them has been discontinued for some time. In the parish of Eassie and Nevy, towards the south corner, a vein of silver was discovered some time ago; it was tried, but found to be too small for working with profit. There is a vein of lead running through the parish of Lochlee, nearly from west to east.
The principal towns are Aberbrothwick, Brechine, Cupar, Dundee, Forfar, and Montrose; and the whole county contained, according to the late population act, 21,022 houses, inhabited by 99,127 persons, viz. 45,461 males, and 53,666 females; of which number 8,627 were returned as being chiefly employed in agriculture; and 14,827 in trade and manufacture.
