In 1887, John Bartholomew's Gazetteer of the British Isles described Balquhidder like this:
Balquhidder, par. and vil., W. Perthshire, at E. end of Loch Voil, 3 miles W. of Lochearnhead ry. sta., 53,149 ac. (1474 water); quoad sacra par., 759 ac., pop. 627; P.O. The dist. is celebrated in Scottish song, and was the scene of many of the exploits of Rob Roy, whose tomb is in the graveyard.
Balquhidder is now part of STIRLING Council. Click here for graphs and data of how STIRLING has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Balquhidder itself, go to Statistics.
