It is sited 151 miles 25 chains (243.5 km) from Carlisle, measured via Stirling, Cumbernauld and Motherwell, and approximately 47 miles 68 chains (77 km) from Ladybank (thus approximately 86 miles 77 chains (140 km) from Edinburgh Waverley via Kirkcaldy and Inverkeithing).

Radisson Blu Perth

Radisson Blu Perth (formerly known as the Station Hotel) is an historic building in Perth, Perth and Kinross, Scotland. Located on Leonard Street, it is a Category B listed building built in 1888. It opened for business in August 1890. One of the hotel's first managers was Arthur Foster. The hotel faces Perth railway station, for which it is named. It is also close to Perth bus station. The hotel was formerly owned and managed by the Highland, North British and Caledonian Railway companies. The building, made of cream and red sandstone, was designed by Perth's city architect Andrew Heiton, who assumed his role some thirty years earlier. He worked with another local architect, John Murray Robertson, on the project. The hotel is a notable example of Scottish baronial architecture. Queen Victoria was a regular visitor to the hotel. She had breakfast there on her final visit to Perth in May 1900, eight months before her death. She was in a wheelchair on that day. In 2021, the hotel joined Radisson Hotel Group and became Radisson Blu Perth. The following year, the hotel closed in order to house asylum seekers.

Parklands Hotel

Parklands Hotel (officially Parklands Boutique Hotel with Dining) is a historic building in Perth, Perth and Kinross, Scotland. Located on St Leonard's Bank, it is a Category C listed building comprising two villas that have been combined into one business. When viewed from St Leonard's Bank, the villa on the left (closest to King's Place) dates to the 19th century, the one on the right to the 18th century. In the early 20th century, the property was owned by London, Midland and Scottish Railway, likely due to its proximity to Perth railway station, which is about 200 feet (67 yd) to the west. It is also close to Perth bus station. The properties, which were previously the Atholl Hotel and Inch Park Hotel, overlook the northwestern corner of the city's South Inch. It has fifteen bedrooms. The hotel's bistro is named No.1 Bank. A double-AA Rosette restaurant, it was formerly named 63@Parklands, a sister restaurant to executive chef and Blairgowrie native Graeme Pallister's 63 Tay Street, which was established in 2007. No.1 The Bank opened a beer garden in the summer of 2020. St Leonard's Bank, originally called Marshall's Bank, was laid out by the city's architect William Macdonald Mackenzie in 1828 on land which belonged to the Glover Incorporation. Parklands, Perth's only four-star-rated hotel, has been owned since 2003 by Scott and Penny Edwards.

St Leonard's Nunnery

Also known as St Leonard's Hospital St. Leonards Nunnery was a house of Augustininian canonesses at Perth, Scotland, founded in the 13th century. After King Edward I of England's foray in Scotland in 1296, the Prioress swore fealty to him. The convent was annexed to the Carthusian Monastery at Perth by 1434 and was suppressed in 1438. The nunnery stood opposites the railway lines across the rail bridge from Craigie Cross, around 0.5 miles (0.80 km) southwest of the Perth city centre. Elizabeth Dunbar, daughter of George I, Earl of March, was a prioress of the convent in the 14th-15th century.

Queens Hotel, Perth

The Queens Hotel is located in Perth, Perth and Kinross, Scotland. It stands on Leonard Street, at its junction with Cross Street, around 200 feet (61 m) northwest of the Station Hotel, which was also built in the 19th century to take advantage of tourists arriving in and departing from the city from the adjacent Perth railway station. Queen Victoria was a regular visitor to that hotel. Named Gillan's Queen's Hotel in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, it had an attached bar on its northern side. In 1889, it was one of four Perth public houses fined for breaching the Forbes McKenzie Act by not enforcing closing time on a Tuesday night. The legislation was passed in 1853 to regulate pubs in Scotland. Today's incarnation is owned by Best Western. The buildings attached to the northern side of the original hotel, and part of Pomarium Street to the rear, were demolished in the 1950s to make way for Perth bus station. In 1918, during the latter stages of World War I, the building was used as the headquarters for the district directorate of the Ministry of Labour for Perthshire and surrounding counties. The department's charge was "the resettlement in civil life of officers and men of like educational qualifications". In 2022, not longer after the hotel had been purchased by the Compass Hospitality Group, after being put on the market for £1.25m, the hotel closed in order to house asylum seekers.
