Perth

Perth

Perth is situated on the east side of Scotland. It is an area of deep historical interest as many Scottish Kings were crowned on the Stone of destiny at Scone Palace. There are many fun-filled outdoor activities for students in the area including wildlife parks, indoor play centres and field centres, and especially concentrating on watersports.

You can learn about animals at the Highland Wildlife Park, the history of Scotland's clans at the grandest Glen, Glencoe or Scotland's history of fighting the English at Killiecrankie. An often-missed gem is the village of  Dunkeld, frozen in time and preserved by the National Trust for Scotland.
