For #TransportTuesday we have a rather laden cart. It is on Perth Road outside the Tay Rope Works, which ran all the way to Magdalen Yard Road.
The photograph appears to be from 1908 as a poster in the background refers to the London Olympics of that year.

This photograph was taken on the B953 between Abernyte and Balbeggie. It was taken during a military exercise on 5th-6th April 1913. This is presumably some senior officers watching the action.
