Descriptive gazetteer entries

In 1882-4, Frances Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland described Lethendy like this:

Lethendy, a parish in Stormont district, Perthshire, whose church stands 4½ miles SW of the post-town and station, Blairgowrie. Since 1806 united ecclesiastically to kinloch, it is bounded E by Kinloch and Blairgowrie, and on all other sides by Caputh and detached sections of Clunie. Its utmost length, from WNW to ESE, is 3¾ miles; its utmost breadth is 1⁵/8 mile; and its area is 1746²/3 ...

acres, of which 3²/3 are water. Lunan Burn flows 1⁷/8 mile south-south-eastward along all the Kinloch and Blairgowrie boundary; and the surface, with a gentle westward ascent, varies in altitude from 119 to 501 feet-the former at 1½ furlong S by E, the latter at 3¹/3 furlongs N, of the parish church. The soil of the western district is black mould, inclining to reddish clay, exceedingly rich, and adapted to every crop; but eastward grows bleaker, wetter, and less productive. About 135 acres are under wood, and nearly all the rest is in tillage. The Tower of Lethendy, 5 furlongs E by S of the church, is a very old building, earlier, it is supposed, than the introduction of artillery. Two proprietors hold each an annual value of more, and two of less, than £500. Lethendy and Kinloch is in the presbytery of Dunkeld and synod of Perth and Stirling; the living is worth £318. A Free church stands 1¼ mile E, a U.P. church ¾ mile NNE, of the parish church. Kinloch public school, with accommodation for 95 children, had (1882) an average attendance of 55, and a grant of £66,4s.6d. Valuation (1865) £2352, 5s.10d., (1883) £2732,13s. 1d. Pop. (1801) 345, (1831) 306, (1871) 179, (1881) 149.Ord. Sur., shs. 48, 56, 1868-70.
