Hi ,
Ok i'm confused here ...I feel a headache coming on ! ;D
Is Bendochy near Scone ? or Coupar Angus?  and what about Kettins to please ?

Yes.

Bendochy is a parish in Perthshire, but it was in several separate parts. One part of it is north of the parish of Coupar Angus. Kettins is a parish in Angus, but it lies south of Coupar Angus.

Scone (pronounced 'skoon', to rhyme with 'moon', not like 'bone' or 'gone') is another parish, a bit further west, lying north and east of Perth.

You might find it useful to refer to one or more of
