John, in 1774, the extent of the plantations of all sorts of 
plants was only about 1000 Scotch acres. In 1829 the 
extent of the whole of the plantations amounted to 13,378 
Scotch acres, of which 8604 were of larch alone, besides 
those mixed with other plants. 
The following table shows the divisions of the forests and 
the extent of the kinds planted, etc., to 1829 :—

Nore.—On the Duke's accession in 1774, the total number of acres planted was 
about 1000. Consequently h¢ has planted about 12,378 Scots acres, or 15,473 English 
statute acres. Allowing 2000 plants in each Scots acre when planted, makes the num- 
ber of trees 24,756,000, but which in reality has been considerably more ; and 10 per 
cent. may be allowed for making good, which makes the total number of trees planted 
27,231,600. 
As the ages of the respective plantations in each estate vary considerably, they 
could not be marked on this abstract ; but they are distinctly enumerated in the Book 
of Plans, in which the numbers correspond with those inserted here opposite each 
division. 
These plantations formed the source from whence the 
numerous tree seed merchants of Perthshire derived their
