Stanley Mills Perthshire Stanley Mills is a unique complex of water-powered cotton mills situated on a majestic bend in the River Tay. Sited on the banks of the Tay, Stanley Mills were founded to process cotton at the height of the Industrial Revolution in the 1780s, repeatedly adapted to changes in the textile industry, and finally closed in 1989. There are superb interactive displays and games that help you to experience working life here. Find out if your fingers are as nimble as a child labourer’s – or whether you can match the business acumen of a mill-owner. Listen to the Gaelic poetry and stories of the displaced Highlanders who worked here after losing their homes in the Clearances.

River Tay below Campsie Linn The clump of trees is on what the maps show as an island, but the river level is so low that it is not cut off from the bank at the moment.

Campsie Linn This is the best place to view Campsie Linn, but it is becoming rather overgrown. The linn is formed by a wide igneous dyke, part of a dyke swarm intruded during the Carboniferous. This dyke runs for many miles across Perthshire, not always exposed at the surface. You can see that the further away section is not aligned with the nearer part, because there is a fault between them that has displaced them laterally.
