Perth

Perth is a city in central Scotland, on the banks of the River Tay. Many centuries of history that make Perth such a fascinating place to visit can be seen in its multitude of ancient buildings. Perhaps the most significant of these is the fifteenth century St John's Kirk, an imposing church with a large tower and spire that can be seen from across the town that is home to a number of unique ancient religious relics, some of which is nowadays housed in the Perth Museum due to its rarity and value. Within easy reach of the town are two fortified tower-houses of note, Huntingtower Castle and Elcho Castle, both of which are spectacular constructions often used for events and weddings and are open to the public. Open 365 days a year Perth Racecourse plays host outwith racing to over 120 events and is home to one of the best conferencing facilities in Perthshire. Nestled in the stunning parklands of Scone Palace, Perth Racecourse is Scotland’s most northerly course and one of the UK’s favourite days out.
