Historic Buildings Perthshire

The idea for today's gallery came when we saw a picture that Norrie Shand posted of the whim at Blair Castle in the FaceBook group Pictures of Perth and Beyond.  It was such a beautiful picture of an amazing that we started to look around for other equally awesome pics of historic Perthshire landmarks.  

In this weeks gallery, we obviously bring you pictures of castles including Methven and Huntingtower but we also celebrate the beauty of slightly more modern buildings including the newly renovated Perth Theatre and the beautiful old King James Hospital and the historic Dunkeld village square.  To top it all off we have a couple of monuments, the McDuff Monument near Scone and the Kinnoull Tower which was actually built as a ruin in the early 19th Century.
