**Location**
Perth is a large town located 30 minutes away from Dundee

**Getting there**
Perth is easy to visit by car, train or bus,and there is loads of nice views surrounding it.

**Staying there**
I haven't had any experience staying in a hotel or bed and breakfast since i live in Perth but there are loads to choose from. Beware if you are like me and love luxury hotels you will be disappointed as the best Perth offers is 3 star hotels.One being Ramda Jarvis plus there are two others that i know off.

**Shopping**
The main shopping street is the high street which is not that big and there is a shopping centre called St Johns.There are about 15 shops in it - the better ones being Jane Normans and Topshop.
A few years ago we had an Ann Summers but the"old farts" decided to complain about it meaning there is nowhere to buy nice underwear.Perth also doesn't have a Primark -so theres no point in coming to Perth for a bargain..

**Culture/Things to do**
Perth is a nice place to visit. In times long gone (lol) Perth was the capital city in Scotland.
Things to do include history walks, Scone Palace,Huntingtower Castle. Elcho castle and the old town hall. Which was used as a meeting place for the suffragettes in the 1900s.
These are nice and all but once you have done it about 50 times it loses its appeal.

There is a new town hall where people like Amy mcdonald have played.Elton John has played in the local football stadium-he must be short of money.
Things for kids to do include the swimming baths.This building is located near a doctors which you will need to visit if you eat the food at the swimmies.There is also an ice rink but its very rarely open.Ice skateing is open to public about once a month.

**Nightlife**
The place that is open the latest (till about 2am) is called the ice factory. Customers are made up of 2 main age groups under 18S and over 40.
Bliss and Envy-changed its name more times than britney spears has flashed her ..... i don't think i have ever seen people over the age of around 25 in there Others include sporsters and Thatbar .There are also loads of pubs some of which have live bands playing, others have karoke which are similar really.I tend to stay away from most of these
theatre-Quite small
cinema - We are one of only two "lucky" places to have a caladonian cinema-it does not always play the big movies.

Restaurants-places to go include Pacos,Ciao Roma,frankie and bennie.The Royal George Hotel is nice .It does a lovely high tea.

Perth also has two nice inches-north inch and the south inch.
