Invermay, a seat of Lord Clinton in Forteviot parish, SE Perthshire, on a rising-ground overhanging the left bank of May Water, 1½ mile SSE of Forteviot station. A plain, neat, modern structure, commanding an extensive view of the picturesque scenery of the May's valley and Lower Strathearn, it has large and beautifully wooded grounds. An old baronial fortalice in its vicinity, now represented by an ivy-clad ruined tower, which retains some apartments in entire condition, forms a striking contrast to its modern neighbour. 'The Birks of Invermay' are the theme of a well known lyric by David Mallet, and seem to have been sung by earlier poets. Acquired by the Belsches family in the latter half of the 17th century, Invermay is now the property of Lord Clinton, who holds 1198 acres in Perthshire, valued at £1016 per annum. See Fettercairn.—Ord. Sur., sh. 48,1868.
