NEWBIGGING, a village, in the parish of NewTYLE,
county of Forfar, 5 miles (E.N. E.) from Cupar-Angus;
containing 229 inhabitants. It is situated in
the western part of the parish, on the borders of the
county, and on the road from Dundee to Meigle. The
village is of rather old appearance, and consists of about
sixty dwelling-houses, of which the owners of about thirty

acres. The careful cultivation of these pendicles, and
the agricultural business of the parish, afford employment
to the chief part of the population.
