A transferred name from Glenshervie PER; the Murray family had interests in both Glenshervie PER and (later) Glenshervie FIF. In 1622 the Murrays of Tullibardine held the lands and forests of Corremuklaw and Glenschervie, Strathearn PER (RMS viii no. 284); while the Duke of Atholl (of the Murray family) held land around Glenshervie FIF in 1757 (Falkland Plan/1757). Murray of Abercairny was given hunting rights in Glenshervie Strathearn, and in 1747 there are records of ‘poaching in Glenshervie’ (Chronicles of Atholl and Tullibardine Family, by 7th Duke of Atholl, vol. 3, p. 373). The name exists today in Perthshire on OS Pathf. 336 as Glenshervie Burn NN81 34.
The alternative name Southbank, which makes a brief appearance in 1710, is probably the older name, and refers to the position of these lands on the south bank of the Eden.
When the site of Glenshervie was visited in the early 1990s not even ruins were visible.
