Perth, Scotland
Fair City, Fairly Overlooked
"Once the capital, now the layover"
Official Coat of Arms
A shield bearing the River Tay in mild flood, rampant, flanked by two shopping trolleys from the St John's Centre car park, surmounted by a ghostly crown representing the coronation site nobody visits anymore, with the motto scroll reading 'Ancient Capital, Modern Roundabout'.
TripAdvisor Review
★★★☆☆ 3/5
"Nice enough wander around the North Inch but I genuinely thought Perth was going to be bigger given it used to crown kings. The concert hall is lovely, the Tay is scenic, and then you've seen it by half two in the afternoon. Stopped for a coffee near St John's Kirk and honestly that was the highlight of the day."— Deborah_Fenwick_Doncaster
Property Listing
Nestled majestically on the banks of the mighty River Tay, this former royal capital offers unrivalled access to the A9, the A93, and absolutely nowhere else you actually need to be. Genuinely charming Georgian streets, a world-class concert hall, and house prices that make Edinburgh commuters weep with gratitude.
Twinned With
Perth Australia — Both got saddled with the same name and both spend their lives explaining they're not the other one, just on opposite ends of the earth.
Supporting Evidence
Perth was the capital of Scotland until the 15th century and Scone Palace nearby is where Scottish kings were crowned on the Stone of Destiny — now it's mostly known for a very orderly Saturday farmers' market.
