Campsie, a picturesque cataract on the river Tay, near the W end of Cargill parish, and a short distance above Stanley village, in Perthshire. It is formed by a rugged basaltic dyke, which crosses the river's bed, and extends many miles both N and S; it is mentioned in the Fair Maid of Perth, and it affords good scope for salmon fishing.
