Look out for in Perth:
Discover Scone Palace, a historic Scottish site, once the coronation venue for Scottish royalty, including Macbeth. It’s surrounded by picturesque gardens and tranquil woodlands – the perfect setting for a walk or even a picnic. Perth's bus station is just a short distance away from the train station with buses 3 and 58 taking you directly there.
The new Perth Museum will also be opening its doors in Spring 2024 with the Stone of Destiny returning to the region - the first time in over 700 years!
Take a stroll around the longest river in Scotland, the River Tay. Look out for The River Tay Way, a new long-distance walking and cycling route.
Don’t miss stops:
Kirkcaldy
If you love all things art, The Kirkcaldy Galleries is home to a stunning collection of artworks and artefacts. You'll also find the Adam Smith Theatre just across the road, where you'll be entertained with music, theatre and comedy performances all year round. Stretch your legs and head to Ravenscraig Park which connects up to the Fife Coastal Path.
Markinch
This historic village lies a few miles east of Glenrothes and is home to St Drostans Church and it's 12th century tower.
