Mr. Thomas Cameron Mr. John Bullion Mr. William Menzies Valuation Roll 1857-8 New Statistical Account |
062 | A public ferry on the River Tay near to the village of Caputh, connecting the traffic on the toll road, which leads from Dunkeld, on the north side of the river to this ferry, afterwards diverting from the South side through Stanley to Perth. The rates payable are imposed by the Commissioners of Supply, and are similar to those levied at a toll bar. Property of Sir Alexander Muir McKenzie Bart [Baronet] Delvine. "Again at Caputh Ferry, opposite the church, in the centre between these 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 long 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 thus 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 |
