CARPOW SETTLEMENT MARKER
An early log boat was found buried in mud at Carpow on the banks of the Tay between Newburgh and Abernethy. Later the Romans had a camp nearby, with moorings for their galleys, and it is said that they even bridged the Tay here. This is a remote part of the Tay estuary, and not easily found. There would perhaps have needed to be way-markers for travellers passing through the area.
