Forfarshire (1912)26-01-2016

The high place Forfarshire takes on the list of Scottish counties is largely due to the fact that its industries are so varied. It has a long seaboard with several good harbours and valuable fishing-stations. The estuary of the Tay, though not without its dangers to navigation, has had its natural facilities carefully fostered by the harbour authorities of Dundee, and occupies the third place in Scotland for ship-building and the harbourage of vessels, being excelled only by the Forth and the Clyde.
