Perth Art Gallery

Perth Art Gallery is the principal art gallery and exhibition space in the city of Perth, Scotland. It is located partly in the Marshall Monument, named in memory of Thomas Hay Marshall, a former provost of Perth. The building was formerly known as Perth Museum and Art Gallery, ceasing to be so in anticipation of the new Perth Museum opening within Perth City Hall.

Perth Castle

Perth Castle was a 9th-century castle in Perth, Scotland. It was located near the northern end of today's Skinnergate. In the 19th century, there was a memorial to the castle in Castle Gable, which ran north-west from the castle's former location, today occupied by Perth Concert Hall.

Royal George Hotel, Perth

The Royal George Hotel (also known as The Royal George) is a hotel and restaurant in Perth, Scotland. It is a Category B listed building dating to 1773. Its main entrance is on George Street, though its Tay Street frontage, overlooking the River Tay, is more well known. It is named for George III. It adjoins a reputed section of Perth City Walls. Notable visitors to the hotel include Empress Eugenie and Queen Victoria, her husband, Albert, Prince Consort, and their children, who stayed there on 29 September 1848, during their journey south after holidaying at Balmoral Castle. (William Murray, 4th Earl of Mansfield, was out of town and, thus, they were unable to stay at Scone Palace, just under two miles to the north.) It was Victoria's first time staying in a hotel. After breakfast at the hotel the following morning, the family left for Carlisle on the recently built Scottish Central Railway. Then named The George Inn, the business was renamed The Royal George Hotel in her honour. (The street adjacent to the property on its southern side is named George Inn Lane.) Both the Royal Warrant and two lamps from the room the monarch slept in are still in the hotel today. Queen Victoria returned to Perth in 1864 to unveil a statue of her husband, who died three years earlier, at the North Inch. Local architect Donald Alexander Stewart, in partnership with Robert Matthew Mitchell, undertook some reconstruction work on the hotel in 1927. Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex, dined at the hotel in 2003. The hotel has 45 rooms. The hotel regularly host events for right and far-right UK political parties, including events for the Scottish Conservatives, the launch of the British National Party Holyrood Manifesto in 2011, and the Reform UK Scottish Party Conference in 2024.

Perth Lade

Perth Lade (also known as King's Lade) is a historic 4.5-mile (7.2 km)-long former mill lade in Perth and Kinross, Scotland. Created in the 11th century or earlier, it has been used to power several watermills, such as those that functioned at Perth's Lower City Mills, which have existed since the 18th century. Over its course, at least nineteen industrial sites existed; today, the remains of nine of these can be seen, the rest lost to inner-city development and housing schemes of the 20th and 21st centuries. A footpath follows the majority of the lade's course.
