The City of Perth
Scotland, compact by most standards, is the county town and also known
as St John's Town or the Fair City. The city centre is compact
with two large and open public parks - the North and South Inches on each
flank and the mighty River Tay along side. Many of the streets around the
centre are comprised of elegant Georgian terraced houses. Perth is a bustling
market town with much to offer the tourist. Shops, galleries and theatre
in the town centre. Scenery, castles, history, walks and attractions in the
country around. Nearby Scone offers the Palace and Perth Race Course.
Pitlochry is a well known
Highland tourist centre and Crieff is second largest town in the
county and the main town of Strathearn.
