TEALING, a ''parish'', in the county of Forfar, 5½ miles (N.) from Dundee; containing the hamlets of Balgray, Balkillo, Kirkton, Newbegging, and Todhills. This place derives its name, signifying in the Gaelic language "a country of brooks or waters," from the small streams with which the district abounds.'' The church, erected in 1806, is a neat substantial structure, situated nearly in the centre of the parish, and contains 700 sittings. The members of the '''Free Church''' have a place of worship.<ref>Lewis, Samuel A., ''[http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=43483#s15 A Topographical Dictionary of Scotland]'' (1846), pp. 499-514.
