Perth, famously referred to as the “Fair City” in Sir Walter Scott’s novel The Fair Maid of Perth, plays a prominent part in Scotland’s history, having previously acted as the nation’s capital. Scotland’s kings were once crowned just across the silvery Tay from the city centre, in what are now the grounds of Scone Palace.
Nowadays the Fair City’s charms are more visible in its floral displays, with which it has won the Scotland in Bloom competition. However the city also boasts a vibrant arts scene, at the heart of which is the brand new Perth Concert Hall, which itself is ably complemented by the city’s museum and a fine old Edwardian theatre that opens out into a pedestrianised High Street, where many of Britain’s top shopping brands are represented.
