Angus County

[tripleblessed]

I'll confuse you even more. In 1880 there was no county of Angus - it was called Forfarshire until 1928

While that is technically factual, it's always been Angus. Ask the cows. Or the Ogilvies. Well, maybe not always.
But for a thousand years or so, Angus. Maybe the government beginning to call it Forfarshire was a factor in my
Hughes line leaving Kingoldrum and coming to the colonies before the Revolution. In 1928 the government saw
the light of day and went back to it's traditional identity. Forfar, a royal burgh in Angus, was the county town and in the
18th century many government folk found it logical to identify the shire by the largest town. Later wisdom prevailed,
and I'm sure the Ogilvies sleep better.

And yes, Angus tartan is a lovely one.
