Stormont was one of the original provinces of the Kingdom of Alba. [1] It covered an area of what became Perthshire. It was located to the immediate south of Atholl and west of Gowrie, in a zone 7 miles wide between the River Ericht and River Isla in the east and a point near Dunkeld in the west. [2]
The name survives in local place-names at Stormontfield and Stormont Loch. Remains of a castle or residence were visible on an island in Stormont Loch in 1843. Stormont was a property of the Murrays of Gospertie, one of whom, Sir David, was made Viscount Stormont in 1621. [3] The title is now held by junior members of the family of the Earls of Mansfield.
