Kippenross, a mansion, with beautiful grounds, in Dunblane parish, S Perthshire, near the left bank of Allan Water, ¾ mile SSE of Dunblane town. It is the seat of Patrick Stirling, Esq. of Kippendavie (b. 1846; suc. 1882), who holds 6111 acres in the shire, valued at £5586 per annum, and whose ancestor got a charter of the lands of Kippendavie from his father, Arch. Stirling of Keir, in 1594. A sycamore on the lawn, known as 'the big tree of Kippenross ' so long ago as the time of Charles II., measured 42½ feet in girth immediately above the ground, but some years since was snapped across by a gale. Kippendavie House stands 1 mile NNE of Dunblane.—Ord. Sur., sh. 39, 1869.
