Perth, situated on the River Tay, is a city that beautifully combines history and nature. Visit historic Scone Palace, where Scottish kings were crowned, and discover the legendary Stone of Destiny at Perth Museum. Enjoy breathtaking views and walks in Kinnoull Hill Woodland Park, and learn about military history at Black Watch Castle & Museum. For culture, the modern Perth Concert Hall offers a wide range of music and comedy performances. Perth is a fascinating destination for history buffs and nature lovers alike.

"A sculpture inspired by the poem 'Nae Day Sae Dark' (No Day So Dark) by Perth poet William Soutar. It consists of two bronze figures of men, representing happiness and misery, leaning on a five metre horizontal steel ring. Soutar's poem is engraved inside the ring of the sculpture. As with Soutar’s poem of the same name, the sculpture reminds us that however overpowering the dark, a glint of light will appear and even in the deepest despair, hope will always prevail."
