___________________________

The historic city of Perth, also known as ‘The Fair City,’ was capital of Scotland in the 12th century.
Today it is a bustling market town with shops, galleries and a theatre in the town centre.

After an enjoyable evening meal and a quiet drink in one of Perth's many excellent watering-holes, take a stroll along the banks of the Tay - Scotland’s longest river, before returning to Almond Villa.
