Guide to Perth

map
Marking a well-linked heart of Scotland, the city of Perth is encircled by majestic hills, and split by the picturesque river Tay. With a population of 44,000, its history reaches back to Mesolithic times, when it was a hunter-gatherer settlement. A former capital of Scotland, Perth is home to Scone Palace, the site of the coronations of Scottish kings including Macbeth and Robert the Bruce. Make sure to visit its cobbled piazza surrounding the mediaeval St John's Kirk, the perfect spot to enjoy a little coffee and people watching.
