Things to do in Perth
The city of Perth is Scotland's ancient capital with a regal presence and a modern metropolis offering the very best in eating, shopping and entertainment.
Scone Palace
No trip to Perth is complete without a visit to Scone Palace. One of Scotland's most important stately homes, it's where kings such as Robert The Bruce and Charles II were crowned. Once you've taken a look at the many antiques, paintings and rare artefacts in the palace you can spend hours wandering around the world class grounds. Make sure you go to Moot Hill where the coronations took place and look at a replica of the famous Stone of Scone, only recently returned to Scotland.
Scone PalaceHuntingtower Castle
If you want even more history, then head for Huntingtower Castle. This is where Mary Queen of Scots and her husband Lord Darnley stayed during their honeymoon and has been the scene of some of the most dramatic incidents in Scotland's rich past. Spend time exploring the remarkable layout of the castle and find the secret hiding place where the treasures were kept.
Huntingtower CastlePerth Museum and Art Gallery
Perth Museum and Art Gallery is well worth your time with its collection of more than half a million local, national and international objects. There's an ever changing programme of exhibitions and events, but the main reception area with its beautiful glass dome is enough to justify any visit by itself.
