051 | The site of a Stone wall or Dyke Said to have been six feet high and four feet thick, and enclosing a portion of land, known at the time of its existence, as Laighwood Park, none of the dyke now Stands, it having been taken down about 100 years since, an ordinary Stone dyke has since been erected on the Site of the old one, unless in some short distances. No one can say why this was called the Picts Dyke, but tradition supposes it to have been erected by the Picts, but for what purpose remains a mystery. The land it enclosed was (it is said) granted by Robert II towards the end of the 14th century, to the Earl of Murray. and, with the exception of a Small portion in Caputh parish, still remains in the same family, the title having changed to Duke of Athole. |

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.
