Perthshire -- Parish of Caputh
"Again at Caputh Ferry, opposite the church, in the centre between these two extremes, in place of the common chain-boat which formerly plied there, in 1834, a boat was erected, under the superintendence of the late Sir Alexander Muir MacKenzie of Delvine, consisting of a large platform placed upon two narrow-pointed boats lying parallel to each other and at several feet distant, which, by a simple machinery, are made to present their sides to the action of the stream, and are then propelled to either side of the river, and the greater the strength of the current, the more rapid the conveyance across. A chain is also stretched across the river, and which, passing over a fly-wheel fixed to the side of the platform, keeps the boat in a straight course. It is capable of taking in four loaded carts at one time, without unyoking the horses, and the passage is performed in five minutes" New Statistical Account

Ordnance Survey - Perth county
Ordnance Survey was established in the 18th century to create maps, surveys and associated records for the entirety of Great Britain. These records are arranged by county. This entry has been created to enable searching for Ordnance Survey records for the county of Perth, which is in central Scotland. The boundaries of the county were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
