Perth rests quietly on the banks of the River Tay in the Scottish Lowlands. It has two large public parks and most of the houses near the city centre are building in a Georgian terraced style. For tourists, there are lots of galleries, shops and a theatre, as well as the usually Scottish attractions such as scenery, castles and walks. There are many really great attractions in the region of Perth and Kinross and as such, Perth makes an ideal base for holiday makers.
