It was initially both compiled and published by D. Leslie,[3] whose office was at 54 and 58 Princes Street in Perth originally, then 20 St John Street (with printing works at 32 to 38 Canal Street).[2] Prior to publishing the directories, Leslie was a cartographer. In 1837, he published a Directory Map of Perth.[4]
After Leslie's retirement, publishing duties passed to (as of at least 1911) Watson & Annandale and (from 1919) K. Annandale.[5]
In 1930, 45 years into its 54-year run, the directory's named changed to Leslie's directory for Perth and Perthshire.
