Perthshire / Re: Poor House Perth/Tibbermore HELP!
« on: Wednesday 19 March 25 10:26 GMT (UK)  »
On this 1855-1882 map the Poor House is located outside the Perth 'Parish & Municipal Boundary' Written in capitals just above and to the left of the Poor House on this map, is the word TIBBERMORE, so likely the parish the Poor House was in??

An excellent plan of the Poor House is on this town map.

I think this is an historic aerial view - https://canmore.org.uk/collection/1699926 one of several of the area.

The house seems to be part of a farm just to the west of Callander, below the A85 and to the east of the A821, called Bochastle.
