Perth - Past and Present

Perth is one of Scotland’s oldest burghs, and a lot of Scotland’s history is hidden in the city centre if you know where to look.

With links to the leather industry on the Skinnergate, St John’s Kirk and its connections to John Knox and Charles II, Cromwell’s Citadel and writer Sir Walter Scott, there is a wealth of history to explore in Perth.
