    ?b?TULLIALLAN, Perthshire ?/b?
    "TULLIALLAN, parish, containing Kincardine town, on the Forth, in a detached district of Perthshire. Its length is about 2 3/4 miles; its breadth nearly 2 1/2 miles; its area 3586 acres. Real property in 1880-81, ?9120. Pop. 2199. The land contains part of a gentle broad-based hill, but mostly slopes gently from northern boundary to the Forth, and comprises a valuable tract, reclaimed and embanked from the tide. Coal and ironstone are plentiful. The chief seat is Tulliallan Castle; and the chief antiquities are the ruined old Tulliallan Castle, and the old church at Overtown. The present churches are Established, Free, and United Presbyterian, and the public schools are 2, with about 251 scholars."

    An earlier structure about a half mile NW, Old Tulliallan Castle, was built by 1304, when it was ordered to be strengthened by Edward I of England, it then passed into the ownership of William Douglas first Earl of Douglas, and was granted by the Douglases to the Edmonstones,and thence to a junior branch of the Blackadders , and finally to the Bruces of Carnock. A fortified house with a keep and rib- vaulted ground floor, it was abandoned in the seventeenth century.

    The Earl Lord Douglas - the Douglas estates of his father lay in some of the staunchest Presbyterian, covenanting territory in Scotland , and his tenantry were not at all amenable to King James ( James II of England , James VII of Scotland ), a Catholic. This Regiment, the Cameronian's, one of the oldest in the British Army - was also the personal Regiment of The Baron, the Earl Lord Dalhousie, Governor General of the Province of Canada in Europe. Earl Lord Dalhousie was Lt. Colonel of the Cameronian's.
