Broxden Junction

Broxden Junction (also known as Broxden Roundabout or Broxden Interchange) is one of the busier and more important road junctions in Scotland. It is located on the outskirts of Perth, and is one of the city's two major roundabouts – the other being Inveralmond Roundabout, where the A9 meets the A912 Dunkeld Road, 2.3 miles (3.7 km) to the north-northwest. The roundabout, oval in shape, is an important hub of the Scottish road network, a major junction on the A9 north–south route, and the UK's northernmost motorway junction, being junction 12 of the M90 motorway. Prior to Dunfermline's ascension to city status, all of the seven cities in Scotland were signposted from its exits. Broxden is an interchange for several local bus and long-distance coach services, the latter provided by Scottish Citylink, Megabus, FlixBus, and Ember. There is a park and ride area with a local bus service to Perth city centre. The roundabout was originally designed with the future intention of connecting the northbound A9 and the M90, with the roundabout being replaced by a grade separated junction, and in 2008 Transport Scotland published proposals for the dualling of the A9 between Dunblane and Inverness including the replacement of Broxden Junction with a flyover.

Perth High School

Perth High School is a six-year, non-denominational comprehensive secondary school in Perth, Scotland. Established in 1950 at Gowans Terrace, the school features a post-war prefabricated structure of a type that had not previously been used for any large school in Scotland. The school relocated to its present location in 1971, two years after the opening in 1969 of the adjacent Oakbank Primary School. The 1971 Perth High School building consists of a complex centred around a four-storey main teaching block, and stands in extensive grounds occupying a position on a hill overlooking Oakbank Road and Viewlands Road West. Construction began in 2023, on a brand new, modern teaching facility on the site due for completion in August 2025. The new facility will have a capacity for 1600 pupils, and 140 teaching staff, and feature a 3G sports pitch, multi-use games area, and a cycle pump track. The old building is scheduled to be demolished upon the opening of the new facility. An end-of-school Open Evening was held on 19 June 2025 to celebrate the 50-year history of the 1971 building. Former pupils were invited back for a tour, barbecue and live music entertainment. The 1971 Perth High School closed to pupils on 24 June 2025. Pupils returned to the new building in August 2025.

Cherrybank Gardens

Cherrybank Gardens was a public garden in the southwestern outskirts of the Scottish city of Perth. Originally Bell's Cherrybank Gardens, when it was created in 1984 by Scotch whisky producers Bell's, whose headquarters were adjacent to the property, the gardens comprised 7 acres (2.8 ha). It included over 900 varieties of heather, the largest collection of its kind in the United Kingdom. Designed in the late 1970s, the gardens featured a sundial designed by Ian Hamilton Finlay. In 2002, the gardens were gifted to Scotland's Garden Trust (SGT) by Diageo plc, the multi-national company created following the merger of Bell's owners, United Distillers (and their parent, drinks group Guinness), with International Distillers & Vintners (and their parent, hotel group Grand Metropolitan). Two years later, in March 2004, the gardens announced its intention to develop an adjacent site into a £30 million National Garden for Scotland named The Calyx. In 2007, the project failed to gain the required lottery funding. The collapse of the Calyx scheme brought about the closure of the gardens in 2008, despite a petition by local residents. In September 2008, six months after its closure, it was announced that the gardens were due to reopen, but it failed again. In 2012, the property was sold to an energy company.
