Nothing can be seen of the circular horse-engine platform that is depicted as an open circle on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Perthshire, sheet xcv, 1867) at Mains of Gorthy steading; it was still extant when the 2nd edition of the map (Perthshire, sheet xcv.NE, 1901) was published.
The steading remains in use.
