CC1 Perth County Council, Perth and Kinross County Council Perth County Council was established by the Local Government (Scotland) Act, 1889, taking over powers from the Commissioners of Supply, County Road Trust, and other local authorities. In 1891 the Boundary Commissioners made significant alterations to the boundaries between Perthshire and the adjoining counties of Fife, Forfar, Kinross and Stirling, including the transfer of the detached portion of Perthshire at Culross and Tulliallan to the county of Fife.
Under the Local Government (Scotland) Act, 1929, the county of Perth was combined with the county of Kinross for most, but not all purposes.
Perth County Council and Perth and Kinross Joint County Council were both abolished in 1975 by the Local Government (Scotland) Act, 1973, and the greater part of the county became part of Tayside Region, but with the western portion of the county being placed in Central Region. There were also some boundary changes in the east of the county with territory transferred to the new City of Dundee District Council and some of the territory of the county of Angus transferred to the new Perth & Kinross District Council.
The present Perth & Kinross Council took over the functions of the former Tayside Regional Council and Perth & Kinross District Council in 1996 and regained tyhose parts of Perthshire that had been in the City of Dundee District since 1975. Stirling Council similarly took over the responsibilities of Central Regional Council and Stirling District Council for those parts of Perthshire within its boundaries.

CC2 Kinross County Council, Perth and Kinross County Council Kinross County Council was established by the Local Government (Scotland) Act, 1889, taking over powers from the Commissioners of Supply, County Road Trust, and other local authorities. The county boundary was substantially changed by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891, transferring a detached portion of the Kinross-shire parish of Portmoak to the county of Fife (and to the parish of Kinglassie).
Under the Local Government (Scotland) Act, 1929, the county of Kinross was combined with the county of Perth for most, but not all, purposes.
Kinross County Council and Perth and Kinross Joint County Council were both abolished in 1975 by the Local Government (Scotland) Act, 1973, and Kinross-shire became part of Tayside Region.
The present Perth & Kinross Council was formed in 1996 and took over the functions of the former Tayside Regional Council and Perth & Kinross District Council.
