STRELITZ, a village, in the parish of Cargill,
county of Perth, 3 miles (S. W. by S.) from Cupar-Angus.
This village was built in 1763, as a place of
residence for discharged soldiers at the conclusion of
the German war; and had its name in honour of Her
Majesty Queen Charlotte, consort of George III. Shortly
after its erection it consisted of upwards of eighty neat
houses, forming a street ninety feet broad, watered in
the m ddle by a stream. To every house was originally
annexed a good garden, with about three acres of land,
well inclosed; and the whole village was sheltered by
stripes of plantation.
