Caputh, Perth and Kinross, Scotland, United Kingdom


🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Caputh is a parish and village in Perth and Kinross, Scotland. It lies on the A984 Coupar Angus to Dunkeld road about 6 miles (10 kilometres) south-east of Dunkeld and 8 miles (13 kilometres) west of Coupar Angus.

It stands on the River Tay.

The parish includes the East Cult standing stones.

A 120m wide cairn, known as Cairnmore, was removed to facilitate farming in the 19th century. Remains of an important Roman fort still exist nearby at Inchtuthill. Cleaven Dyke is near Meikleour in the same Parish and was long-thought to be Roman too, but is now regarded as being a substantial Neolithic cursus.

Dunkeld was partly in Caputh parish until 1891.
