1814 Perth flood
text:
The 1814 Perth flood was caused by the River Tay, Scotland's longest river, rising to 7 metres above its normal level. It occurred on 12 February 1814, in Perth, Scotland. It was partly caused by ice jams beneath Perth Bridge, which was built 43 years earlier. The river's height matched that of a flood in 1774. Perth's 1993 flood came close to breaking the record for the height of the Tay's waters, but it peaked at 6.48 m (21.3 ft).
