Sitting on the banks of the River Tay is the Scottish city of Perth. A former capital of Scotland, Perth was reinstated as a city by the Queen as part of her Diamond Jubilee celebrations in 2012. With a rich and influential history that stretches back over 800 years, Perth has always been at the epicentre of Scotland’s important political, judicial and commercial exploits.

Many Scottish Kings have been crowned at Scone Palace, and the building and gardens echo its regal past. The palace itself can be explored, as can the grounds which is home to a number of peacocks and a huge maze.
Other popular castles include Elcho Castle and Huntingtower Castle. The Black Watch Castle and Museum is set in beautiful gardens and the museum beings the Regiment’s past vibrantly to life. Uniforms, fine paintings, medals, photographs, diaries, weapons and military equipment, together with film and reminiscences bring to life the proud military heritage of this family regiment. The collection contains significant items that have been gathered by the Regiment throughout its history, right up to the recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
