| Abstract: |
three harbour sites are known from Perth, the earliest originating in the twelfth century and remaining in use until the nineteenth. Excavation has confirmed the position of the second, the New Haven, begun in the sixteenth century. The construction sequence for the main quay and harbour wall was examined. The robbed remains of two successive harbour walls were recovered and a comparison of eighteenth-century maps confirmed that the quay had been altered some time between 1715 and 1774 |
