If you’re looking for a cultural city break in Scotland that’s manageable over a weekend and easy to reach from Edinburgh and Glasgow, we can think of few places better than Perth. 

Perth has been at the heart of Scotland’s story for centuries, and today it’s a vibrant city that’s alive with the very best in independent shops, a lively café culture and an exciting arts scene with Perth being the UK’s only UNESCO City of Crafts and Folk Art. The city also boasts a fascinating history and is home to the Stone of Destiny, which returned to Perthshire for the first time in over 700 years in 2024.
