Perthshire is a huge county and the town of Perth is a great point of departure for seeing the area with its wonderful natural scenery. That said, there is plenty to see in Perth itself, the area which used to be a major town in the 12th century.

There is a lot to see in Perth, and there are a number of points of interest you should stop by, so make sure the Perth tour you pick includes a full itinerary. Most tours will include a stop at the Scone Palace where over 42 Scottish kings have been crowned. Scone Palace has a wonderful parkland garden and interesting artefacts in the castle itself. The oldest building in Perth, St John’s Kirk dates from 1159, while St Ninian’s – while not as old – is still an impressive sight.

Many of the tours from Perth include stopovers at spots around the town. Interesting places include the Crieff market town, the highlands of Sma’ Glen and the pretty lake, Lock Earn. Depending on the tour you may also stop at Fowlis Wester, a small village with many ancient sights and Methwen where many interesting and important historical people have resided.

A couple of interesting, if not quirky tours, operate in Perth, including the Perth History and Horror tour. This tour explores the career of John Larg, a career criminal and body snatcher that was executed in Perth in 1817. However, the cheap Perth hotels popular with tourists are not likely to be haunted by ghosts.
