Once dubbed "The Fair City" by Sir Walter Scott, Perth boasts a mix of ancient sites like Scone Abbey and modern attractions like Perth Concert Hall. Its diverse economy, rooted in industries like banking and insurance, has helped it thrive as a retail hub and earned it the title of "Scotland's Food Town of 2018."
