Photograph Strathmore Scotland


Photograph of Strathmore, Perthshire, Scotland. A strath is a large Scottish valley, typically a river valley that is wide and shallow, as opposed to a Scottish glen which is typically narrower and deep. Strathmore in east central Scotland runs from northeast to southwest between the Grampian mountains and the Sidlaws. It is approximately fifty miles long and ten miles wide. Strathmore was formed by glacial processes in earlier ice ages. It is fertile and has some of Scotland's best arable farmland, producing soft fruits and cereals. This is also an old capital of Scotland. And is located near the centre of Scotland. The first recorded history of this region dates to Roman times when the Romans established a series of marching camps generally extending in a south to north direction to support the invasion and exploration northward. Other early examples of history include Pictish stones found in Strathmore such as the Eassie Stone.
