Perth

Positioned on the banks of the River Tay and surrounded by spectacular countryside, Perth is a vibrant hub in central Scotland and is known as the ‘Gateway to the Highlands’. The historic county town and former Royal Burgh has long been the commercial and cultural centre of Perthshire, however, it was finally granted city status in 2012 as part of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations. Perth attracts tourists all year round, with no shortage of activities to suit every taste: exploring ancient castles and palaces, conquering the surrounding hills and mountains, or sampling first-class food and drink at local restaurants, pubs and distilleries. World-famous Scone Palace – the crowning place of Scotland’s kings – is on the city's outskirts. Perth is served by a number of primary and secondary schools, and there are also several independent schools in and around the city. Perth provides excellent road and rail links for travel across central Scotland and into the Highlands. The M90 allows convenient travel southwards and connections for Edinburgh and Glasgow, while Perth station offers frequent services to all major cities in Scotland, as well as a Caledonia Sleeper service to London.
