Ghilan

Ghilan, also spelled Gilan, is a province of North-West Iran. It lies between the South-West border of the Caspian Sea and the Elburz Mountains. It is low-lying, swampy, and unhealthy towards the Caspian, but the rising ground to the Soth is more salubrious. Wild animals are numerous in the vast forests. The soil, where cleared, is fertile and well cultivated. The Caspian fisheries are valuable. The people are of Iranian descent, and speak a Persian dialect.
