Excerpt from Comitatus De Atholia, the Earldom of Atholl: Its Boundaries Stated, Also, the Extent Therein of the Possessions of the Family of De Atholia, and Their Descendants, the Robertsons Previous to writing anything regarding the history of the earldom of Atholl, it becomes an indispensable preliminary, to point out and show the boundaries of it. For this purpose, and also to show the possessions held in the earldom by the family of De Atholia, and their descendants, the Robertsons, proofs will now be given. It is a very remarkable circumstance, that the territorial extent of this ancient earldom has, from such a very remote period, remained very nearly the same as when first erected by King Edgar, before 1106, it was an earldom prior to 1114, as in that year Madach, Earl of Atholl, witnesses the foundation charter of Scone. The earldom occupies the entire north part of Perthshire - contains nine whole parishes, of the modern divisions, and half of another: these will be all named in course of the different proofs to be given, and the map shows their situations.
