NO 09 25 (centred on) A programme of work was undertaken which aimed to give an overview of Perth’s historic lade. The city lade runs for some 4.5 miles from a weir known as Low’s Work on the River Almond by Huntingtower, through Tulloch estate and onwards to Perth city centre, where it exits into the River Tay by Perth Bridge. The entire open length of the lade was surveyed over four days between the 10–24 May 2011. The recent winter flooding had caused damage to the weir at the intake on the River Almond and this meant that upper portions of the lade were dry during the survey. As well as recording the general condition of and alterations made to the mills along the lade, the survey identified several new features, including earthworks near Ruthvenfield and various clay pits of indeterminate date near Perth Crematorium.
