River Almond, Perth and Kinross

The River Almond (Scottish Gaelic: Uisge Amain) is a tributary of the River Tay in Perth and Kinross, Scotland. It rises in the hills to the south-east of Loch Tay, and flows eastwards through Glenalmond. It also runs through the village of Almondbank, before joining the Tay immediately north of Perth. The river's course is around 48 kilometres (30 mi) long. The Inveralmond Brewery and Industrial Estate of the same name are situated near the mouth of the Almond where it joins the Tay north of Perth.

Inveralmond Roundabout

Inveralmond Roundabout is a major traffic roundabout in Perth, Scotland. Located approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) north-northwest of the city centre, it is the meeting point of the A912 Dunkeld Road (at the northern terminus of its route to and from the city centre) and the more prominent A9 road, which changes between being east–west running to north–south, picking up its historic route after skirting the city via a bypass. It is one of Perth's two major roundabouts, the other being at Broxden Junction, where the A9 merges with the M90, 2.3 miles (3.7 km) to the south-southwest. The roundabout is so named due to its proximity to the River Almond, which flows under the A9 around 1,300 feet (430 yd) to the north, approximately 0.3 miles (0.48 km) west of its confluence with the River Tay. Inveralmond Industrial Estate is located adjacent to the roundabout to the northwest, accessed by the Ruthvenfield Road exit. The Cross Tay Link Road is under construction as of July 2022. When completed it will link the section of the A9 immediately north of the roundabout with the A93 and A94 near Scone, to the east.

Perth Racecourse

Perth Racecourse is a thoroughbred horse racing venue adjacent to the ancient Scone Palace, near Perth, Scotland. Perth Racecourse at the site in Scone Palace Parklands opened in 1908, just south of the ancient Cramock Burn, and is the northernmost track in Britain. However, horse racing in Perth has taken place since 1613 and was moved to Scone Palace due to a drinking law ban in the North Inch park. Lord Mansfield subsequently offered his land for the construction of a racecourse. The course is right-handed and ten furlongs in circumference. The steeplechase course consists of eight fences per circuit, with the water jump situated in front of the grandstand. The hurdle course is located on the inside going away from the stands, but switches to the outside of the chase course turning into the home straight.
