Description: Town Lade The Town Lade is known to have been in existence by the 12th century, although the exact date of its construction is not known. It carries water from the river Almond via a sluice at Almondbank, four miles north west of Perth. The lade runs through the town, discharging into the Tay just below Perth Bridge. Several conduits lead from it which once powered water wheels for grinding meal and corn. A walkway runs alongside it for much of its length; this section runs past the retail park.
