St Leonard's-in-the-Fields Church

St Leonard's-in-the-Fields Church (formerly St Leonard's-in-the-Fields and Trinity Church) is located in Perth, Scotland. The church stands on Marshall Place at its junction with Scott Street, overlooking the northern end of the South Inch. Built between 1882 and 1885 to a design by J. J. Stevenson, it is now a Category A listed building. A Church of Scotland place of worship, the building is designed in the Gothic Revival style. Inside, the semi-octagonal apse was inspired by the 15th-century apse of the Church of the Holy Rude in Stirling. Perth photographer Magnus Jackson had a wooden studio on the site between the 1850s and 1884. The organ, built in 1881 by the London-based company of Perth native Henry Bryceson, was originally installed in the former Morningside United Presbyterian Church. It was moved to St Leonard's-in-the-Fields in 1985 and installed in a modern ash case.

22 South William Street

22 South William Street is a home in Perth, Scotland. Located on South William Street, one block north of the South Inch, it is a Category C listed building, built in the early 19th century. A two-storey structure, it is three bays with a piend roof. It has a large pilastered and corniced doorpiece. Its exterior walls are painted rubble with dressings in ashlar. At the rear is a full-height bowed stair projection with a coned cap. A small walled garden at the rear adjoins the wall of the viaduct embankment of the Perth to Dundee railway. In 2009, the home was converted from a single-family to twin occupancy. Historic Environment Scotland describes the property as "a good, representative example of early 19th century villa construction" and its little-altered exterior "[adds] to its interest and to the architectural and historic value of the wider setting".

South Inch

South Inch is a large public park in Perth, Scotland. About 31 hectares (77 acres) in size, it is one of two "Inches" in Perth, the other being the larger, 57-hectare (140-acre) North Inch, located half a mile across the city. The Inches were granted to the city, when it was a royal burgh, by King Robert II in 1374. Both Inches were once islands in the River Tay. The two Inches are connected by Tay Street. The park is bounded by King's Place and Marshall Place (both part of the A989, the latter named for Perth lord provost Thomas Hay Marshall) to the north, Shore Road to the east and South Inch View and South Inch Terrace at its southern extremity. Its western boundary abuts the rear of the homes on St Leonard's Bank, which was laid out by Perth architect William Macdonald Mackenzie in 1828. The north-south running A912 Edinburgh Road, opened around 1760, passes through the park's eastern third. The eastern side of the park is known as the Lesser South Inch. Two paths diagonally dissect the main part of the park. The start of the path that originates from the northwest corner, at the foot of King Street, is overlooked by a statue of Sir Walter Scott, author of The Fair Maid of Perth in 1828. The statue, a Category C listed monument, is the work of the Cochrane brothers, and was completed in 1845 as one of their final works before leaving for Canada. It was accidentally acquired by the city magistrates at the sale of a local sculptor's stock. The part of the statue of Scott's dog, Maida, was stolen in 2020. It was also stolen in 2016. Craigie Burn enters the inch at its southwestern corner, via a tunnel, after passing beneath the Highland Main Line railway. It then runs along the inch's southern edge before going underground and exiting into the Tay. The category C listed buildings at 1 and 2 St Leonard's Bank, currently occupied by the Parklands Hotel, overlook the Inch's northwestern corner.

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.
