Perth Escorts

There has been a settlement on the site of the city of Perth since prehistoric times, mainly because of the position of the slight mound above the flood plain of the river Tay at a spot where the river could be forded safely. There are lots of standing stones outside the city and an extremely well-preserved Bronze Age boat has been found in the mudflats bordering the Tay. Although there has been habitation on the spot for so long, it is only relatively recently – in the late 19th century – that the city has been known as Perth. Many Perth escorts appreciate the city for its modest size and character.

Perth has only just obtained city status, being one of the places chosen to be elevated to it to celebrate the Queen’s Jubilee in 2012. The citizens are very proud of course, although it remains very small for a city with a population of only around 45,000. For a small place it manages to pack in a lot of history. The Stone of Destiny – now in Edinburgh Castle with the Scottish Crown Jewels – was once housed in Scone Abbey in Perth. The stone was the coronation stone of Scottish kings and for centuries was in Westminster Abbey before being returned to Scotland in the 1990s.

Although Perth is not really known for its shopping or its nightlife, escorts in Perth will tell you that there is still plenty to do, with museums and two theatres. Perth holds an Arts Festival every year, with comedy, theatre and various music genres from classical to rock. This lasts for several weeks and is growing in international recognition. There are two parks in Perth, known as the Inches, and are huge expanses which everyone in the city enjoys. The Tay is a beautiful river, but not the only one in town and the abiding memory that people take away from Perth is of a calm and dignified city of mellow stone, green and water.
