DUNBLANE, town and parish on south border of Perthshire. The town stands on Allan river, and on Caledonian Railway at deflexion of the line to Callander, 5 miles north of Stirling. It sprang from a Culdee cell, became the seat of a bishopric in the time of David I., flourished through-out the Romish times, declined after the Reformation, and underwent some modern revival. It figures much in connection with the famous Bishop Leighton, and with Tannahill's song of ' Jessie the Flower of Dunblane.' It strove to be-come a watering-place in virtue of two mineral wells about 1 mile to the north, but could not compete with the more attractive Bridge of Allan ; yet, with good accommodations, a grand hydropathic establishment of 1878, picturesque environs, and a salubrious climate, it draws numerous summer visitors. It consists chiefly of narrow streets, presents a mixedly old and modern aspect, and is skirted with some good villas ; it ranks as a police burgh, and as the seat of courts for the southern division of Perthshire ; and it has a head post office with all departments, a railway station, 2 banking offices, a hotel, public reading and amusement rooms, a public library bequeathed by Bishop Leighton, a cathedral, Free, United Presbyterian, and Episcopalian churches, and a public school. The cathedral was begun in early part of the 12th century, but not completed till the 16th ; and it consists of nave, side tower, choir, and chapter-house. The nave measures 130 feet in length, 58 in breadth, and 50 in height ; is all in the early pointed style ; has 8 bays, north and south aisles, a beautifully shafted clerestory, and a very fine west window ; and is now entirely roofless, but may probably undergo restoration. The tower stands near the south portal of the nave, is early Norman, and, with a small spire, rises to the height of 128 feet. The choir measures 80 feet in length, 30 in breadth, and 48 in height ; is all likewise in the early pointed style ; includes, on its north side, what is called the chapter-house ; has been used since the Reformation as the parish church ; and was renovated in 1873. Pop. of the town, 2186. The parish contains also the villages of Kinbuck, Balhaddie, Buttergask, Greenloaning, and Rottearn. Its length is about 9 miles ; its breadth about 6 miles; its area 18,543 acres. Eeal property in 1880-81, 27,727. Pop. 3123. The surface includes a skirt of the Ochil Hills in the east, the middle or main part of Strathallan in the centre, and a skirt of the Braes of Doune in the west. The hill tracts are mostly bleak and moorish ; and those in the east comprise Sheriffmuir, the scene of the famous battle in 1715. The strath tracts are much diversified, but present many amenities and much beauty ; and one near the town, but partly beyond the parish, exhibits a gorge somewhat similar to the Trossachs. The chief seats are Keir and Kippendavie. 3 schools for 519 scholars are in the parish, and enlargements of them for 259 are new.
