Review:
Perth sits on the shores of River Tay and is the newest city in Scotland offering visitors modern entertainment and attractions, dozens of boutique shops, award-winning restaurants, a thriving live music scene, and is host to many special events and festivals. The city is surrounded by hills and mountains, making it the perfect destination for outdoor recreation. Perth is also home to many historical sites as well, including the Balhousie Castle, which dates back to at least 1631, with some historians believing the date closer to the 1300s. The Clan Murray ancestral home, Blair Castle is located 34 miles from the center of Perth, and eight other ancient castles are in the region.
