Perthshires

Perthshires is a term that can refer to a few different things, though most commonly it relates to the historic county of Perthshire in Scotland. Perthshire, also known as the County of Perth, was one of the 33 traditional counties of Scotland. It was located in the centre of the country and bordered Argyll, Stirling, Clackmannan, Fife, Forfar, Aberdeenshire, and Invernessshire. The county town was Perth. Historically, Perthshire was renowned for its diverse landscapes, including fertile agricultural land in the south, the mountainous Grampian Mountains in the north, and numerous lochs and forests.

In modern times, the administrative boundaries of Perthshire have been absorbed into larger regions. From 1975 to 1996, it formed the Perth and Kinross district within the Tayside region. Since 1996, the area has been governed by the Perth and Kinross unitary authority council. Despite the administrative changes, the historical and cultural identity of Perthshire remains strong, with many people still referring to the region by its traditional name.

The term "Perthshires" might also, in a less common usage, refer to a pluralization of the county itself, although this is grammatically unusual. It could also potentially be used informally to denote multiple areas within or associated with the historical county. However, the primary and most understood meaning of Perthshires is linked to the historical county of Perthshire in Scotland.
