Hello Steve, I don't know whether you are still interested but a lot of information on Caputh can be found in "The statistical accounts of Scotland". In the 1791-1799 edition it says that Caputh which was formerly part of Little Dunkeld parish became a separate parish in 1500.
Caputh includes the site of the Roman fort known as Ardoch although Ardoch itself lies on the other side of the river Tay.
My wife's family comes from both villages.
Hope this is of help,
Regards, Frank

It's included in the sticky on places where they live that I put on the general scottish forum, along with odd notes on using the site..
GENUKI also has a bit of info, including which parish registers have survived http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/sct/PER/Caputh/index.html

In 1500 Bishop George Brown of Dunkeld divided the old parish of Little Dunkeld into the old parish of Little Dunkeld and Caputh. It has been variously spelt - Kepit, Keppit, Keapoch, Kjapoch, Capoth and, for many years, Caputh. Incidentally, it is pronounced Kaypith. Hope this helps.

My wife and I visited the site of the original church last summer. We walked the old cemetery. Let me know what you are looking for. Maybe I can help.
