In 1887, John Bartholomew's Gazetteer of the British Isles described Sheriffmuir like this:
Sheriffmuir, battlefield, in par., and 2 miles E. of Dunblane, Perthshire; an indecisive battle was fought here in 1715 between the forces of the Pretender under the Earl of Mar and the royalists under the Duke of Argyll.
Sheriffmuir is now part of STIRLING Council. Click here for graphs and data of how STIRLING has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Sheriffmuir itself, go to Statistics.
