CARSE OF GOWRIE, The, is a portion of the district of
Gowrie, in Perthshire, and consists of a level tract of
land on the north side of the Frith of Tay, from the neigh-
bourhood of Dundee on the east, till it rises into an emi-
nence at the transition of the Tay from a frith to a river.
On the north it is bounded by the Siedlaw Hills. It
comprehends a breadth of from two to three miles by a
length of fifteen. It is celebrated for its rural loveliness
and high state of cultivation.
