TANNADICE, a '''parish''', in the county of Forfar; 7 miles (N. by E.) from Forfar. The name of this place, of Gaelic origin, is descriptive of the position of its church and village in a deeply-sheltered plain on the banks of a river. The church is an ancient edifice, and being in an almost ruinous state, is about to be rebuilt; it is adapted for a congregation of 619 persons. 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#s6 A Topographical Dictionary of Scotland]'' (1846), pp. 499-514.
