NO22NE 20 2907 2533
(Location cited as NO 290 252). Powgavie, Perthshire: this harbour occupied the mouth of the combined Powgavie Burn and Bogmill Pow, and in 1837 it ranked, along with Port Allen [NO22SE 15.00] as one of the principal harbours of the district. In 1792 and 1842 it was recorded as handling coal, lime, manure and farm produce.
Today the remains are overgrown, but the OS map surveyed in 1860-2 marks, on the right bank of the lowest meander of the stream, a quay about 135ft [41.1m] long, facing NW, with a returned portion, 40ft [12.2m] long, facing NNE. The former is in two straight sections, forming a blunt point on plan.
A Graham 1971.
The E side of the pow and harbour falls within the parish of Inchture.
