From the Wikipedia article
Perth Lade (also known as King's Lade) is a historic 4.5-mile (7.2 km)-long former mill lade in Perth and Kinross, Scotland. Created in the 11th century or earlier, it has been used to power several watermills, such as those that functioned at Perth's Lower City Mills, which have existed since the 18th century. Over its course, at least nineteen industrial sites existed; today, the remains of nine of these can be seen, the rest lost to inner-city development and housing schemes of the 20th and 21st centuries. A footpath follows the majority of the lade's course.

Background
History
In 1306, Edward I of England, then occupying the city, ordered a new ditch to be dug as part of a defence. It may have been an extension of the lade to the west and south. With this defence, and that Perth could be provisioned, via the River Tay, it meant that it was not until 1312 that Robert the Bruce (King Robert I of Scotland) could recapture the city.
