(3) The parish of Lecropt was situated partly in the county of Perth and partly in the county of Stirling. That part of the parish which lay to the east of the west boundary of the Scottish Central Railway line was transferred to the parish of Logie. At the same time a small part of the parish of Logie which lay to the west of the west boundary of that railway, and on the right bank of the Allan Water, was transferred to the parish of Lecropt. Then the parish of Lecropt, as thus altered in area, was placed wholly in the county of Perth. See affected properties and landholders.
