Gowrie
Gowrie ((スコットランド・ゲール語:Gobharaidh)) is a region and ancient province of Scotland, covering most of the eastern part of what became Perthshire. The province is the home of such ancient Scottish royal sites as Scone and perhaps Forteviot.
Its chief settlement is the city of Perth. Today it is most often associated with the Carse of Gowrie, the part of Gowrie south of the Sidlaw Hills running east of Perth to Dundee.
==Etymology==
It is usually written as ''Goverin'' or ''Gouerin'' in the Latin of the Middle Ages. The Old Gaelic terms ''Circinn'' and ''Mag Gerghinn'' (and variants), may be related; but Circinn is often identified with the Mearns because Fordoun, Mearns, was said to have been in this area.〔See Watson, ''Celtic Place-Names'', pp. 108–9.〕 Alex Woolf and William J. Watson both implied that the name derived from the Cenél nGabraín.〔Watson, ''Celtic Place-Names'', pp. 112–3; Woolf, ''From Pictland to Alba'', pp. 227–8.〕 The modern Gaelic for the province is ''Gobharaidh''; unless it is derived from Gerghinn or Circinn, the earlier Gaelic form is not recorded in Gaelic orthography.
