Perth

The historic and beautiful city of Perth is known for its rich history. Once referred to as the capital of Scotland due to Scottish court taking up residence in the city, Perth also has records showing it has been settled since prehistoric times.

Today, the city’s many attractions, including amuseums, theatres, churches, whisky distilleries, breweries or on one of the numerous golf courses located in and around the two main parks of the city, North Inch and South Inch, make it a popular destination for domestic and international travelers.For the active traveller, there are a variety of outdoor and adventure sports in the surrounding Perthshire countryside and breathtaking parks.

Radisson Blu Hotel

Radisson Blu Hotel, Perth was originally built as one of the British Transport Hotels due to its proximity to the train station. The stunning building is a Grade II listed building with incredible landscaped gardens, beautiful architecture and grand staircases.

The building also has strong links to the British aristocracy. Shortly after its original opening, the then Prince of Wales and future King Edward VII inspected and approved the hotel for a visit by his mother, Queen Victoria, who became a frequent guest. She would often split her journeys to Balmoral Castle by visiting the hotel for lunch in her private room, and a ‘royal passage’ was created, linking Perth train station with the property.
