Braco, Perthshire

Historical Description

BRACO, a village, in that part of the parish of MUTHILL which constituted a portion of the district of ARDOCH, county of PERTH; containing 370 inhabitants. This village, which is rapidly increasing in extent, owes its origin to the erection of a chapel of ease for the district. The houses are neatly built, and it has already attained some little importance: it is the resort of the neighbouring farmers for the purchase of cattle, for which two large fairs are held annually. Besides the chapel of ease, there is a place of worship for members of the Free Church.-See Ardoch.
