By 1867, when the first edition of the Ordnance Survey map for Perthshire was published, many of the old homesteads in the parish of Blair Atholl were in ruins, deserted and forgotten. To discover the names of these homesteads, one must go back to James Stobie's 1783 map of Perthshire.
To view James Scobie's original map, which is in four sections, use the following hyper-link to the National Library for Scotland.
In the following lists the homesteads are arranged in the same order that they would be seen by a traveller following the road, or river. This is intended to assist in locating specific homesteads on the available maps. Some parts of the adjacent parishes are included, for example Glen Fincastle, which is part of Dull parish.
1. River Tummel from Bridge of Garry to Glen Fincastle
2. Glen Fincastle and the old Tummel road
3. Strathtummel and Borenich from Glen Fincastle to Dalno

5. Road to the Isles from Dalno to Kinloch Rannoch
6. The Wade Road from Dalno to Trinafour
