Aitchy Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Best bet would be to avoid Perth City Centre all together, unless the person in question has a fetish for barber shops, charity shops and bookies! If I were taking a first time visitor to the area anywhere I would take them to the likes of Loch Tay, Aberfeldy, Pitlochry and Dunkeld.

So basis of above, the people of Perth thinks that there town/city is a shit hole. Sad days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleepless Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 i dont think anyone would describe perth as beautiful. perthshire on the other hand, is there anywhere better on the planet? --- depends where you're talking about though. If you take, say Rose Terrace, looking out over the Inch onto the Tay, I reckon most cities would love to have a beautiful expanse of ground like that so close to the centre.

Shaky Toon Saint Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 St Fillans is a beautiful place. Standing at the side of Loch Earn, looking up towards Locheanhead is a view I never tire of. No matter what the weather. Comrie's lovely too. We are very lucky to live in Perthshire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ancientsaint Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 If you were to bring a visitor/tourist to Perth for the first time, where or what would you show them ? It would obviously depend upon their interests - Some may be into Golf and we all know the area is stowed out with Golf Courses of differing levels of difficulty. Some may be interested in the many old buildings that are in the area. Some might want to just relax or get a tour of the many drinking holes. What ever their interest - there will be somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AthensSaint Posted April 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 Canny even take them to the Tory club either. Used to be the best snooker table in Perth. Edstar101 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AthensSaint Posted April 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 What I miss about Perth/Perthshire is the fantastic quality of food. Things have moved on since I moved away but Kerrachers restaurant was bliss (as weas Let's Eat in the first years). Both would have made a mint if situated in central London, New York, Singapore, Athens ...etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AthensSaint Posted April 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Perth Museum is fab. Maybe not quite steeped in global history as The Parthenon but still fab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coltrane Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 I always enjoy a wander through Greyfriars Graveyard. Minutes from the city center, but very peaceful. Lots of historical info about old Perth and its citizens. Not everyone's cup of tea I suppose though..... AthensSaint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejksjfc Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 St Fillans is a beautiful place. Standing at the side of Loch Earn, looking up towards Locheanhead is a view I never tire of. No matter what the weather. Comrie's lovely too. We are very lucky to live in Perthshire. When I first left school I worked at Lochearnhead Hotel, on my day off I would go back to Perth but because the bus didn't go any further than St Fillans I had to hitch last eight miles. I once got a lift on a speedboat up the loch from someone who had been taking water skiers out. Perthshire as many are saying is beautiful and Perth itself is in my view one of the nicest small cities in Britain. Billic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
