PERTHSHIRE

One of Scotland's most substantial counties and home of both old and new money. Foriegn owners, trusts and Major Tarquin Finn Tinn Rim Bim Ole Biscuit-Barrel types are prominent features of Pertshire.

Much comment has been made about large amounts of European money (£200,000+) in set-aside payments being given to some of the wealthiest families in the world who have estates in this county.

10% of the county is owned by one estate and more than 70% is in private hands.
