Old Photograph Harbour Perth Scotland

Old photograph of the harbour in Perth, Perthshire, Scotland. The original harbour was further upriver, possibly at the end of High Street. Silt deposits, shifting of the river's bed and the increase in size of ships have led the harbour to be moved repeatedly downstream. In the 1840s, the tidal basin and quay that are currently in use were built on Sand Island at Friarton.
