About Perth:

The city of Perth Scotland is the county town of Perthshire and also known as St John's Town or even as the Fair City.

Perth's city centre is compact with two large and open public parks - the North and South Inches on each flank and the mighty River Tay along side.

Much of the Perth's High Street is a traffic free precinct with a wide variety of shops large and small. Many of the streets around the centre are comprised of elegant Georgian terraced houses.

Perth has probably always been a centre for farming and less dependent on the traditional Scottish industries of fishing, textiles and engineering. Not only did this give rise to it's relatively small size but also to its air of prosperity.

The city is a bustling market town with much to offer the tourist. Shops, galleries and theatre in the town centre. Scenery, castles, history, walks and attractions in the country around. Nearby is historic Scone Palace and Perth Racecourse.

Schools: Perth is well served by good state education schools and also there is a range of extremely high achieving private schools nearby. Cornhill Way is in the catchment for two highly regarded primary schools (both within easy walking distance) and two above average performing secondary schools (again within easy walking distance).

Churches: There are a wide variety of churches within Perth.

Supermarkets: Locally (within 2 miles of the house) there is a Co-Op, Morrisons, ASDA and Tesco (x3). Tesco and ASDA are open 24 hours.

Hospitals: Perth Royal Infirmary is just around the corner (walking distance) and Dundee Ninewells Hospital is just 30 mins drive.
