Kinross-shire Towns

"The origin of the shire of Kinross is lost in antiquity. Sir Robert Sibbald, writing at the close of the seventeenth century, says that it was made a distinct shire from Fife about the year 1426 and contained then only the parishes of Kinross, Orwell and Portmoak. In 1426, Kinross was separatley represented in parliament, but the shire was distinct far earlier, being mentioned in the charters of David II."
