dee_62 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Well, that's just incorrect. Perth has an excellent midwife led maternity ward. If there are any complications then they have to go to dundee. Perth is a great place, I've lived there for 15 years and have no intention of changing that. Oh bugger off with your facts and truth. That's no way to respond to a deliberate attempt to fish for a response from the fermers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonksy+HisChristianParade Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Perth's really nowhere near as bad as some people are making out. Pretty boring, it's true, but in terms of places in Scotland to live/grow up it compares favourably with most similarly sized towns. Miles better than shiteholes such as Greenock or Paisley, for example. It has more good areas than bad, as well as quite a few nice villages on the outskirts. Kinnoull, Gannochy, Oakbank, Viewlands, Western Edge, Craigie are all pretty decent places to live. Then you've got Letham, Muirton and Tulloch which are a bit shiter. The town centre's in need of some regeneration but some of the blame for that can be laid at the council's door. As has already been mentioned there's a fair number of decent restaurants and pubs but the town does definitely suffer from losing a large number of young people who leave for uni and never return.

Bonksy+HisChristianParade Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 It's very sad to see. Reminds me a bit of when Big Gus had the world at his feet, only to throw it all away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pittsburgh phil Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Was he ever classed above Jade Goody? Perth is better than Leith, also has a better football team. Having lived in both, Leith is clearly a better place to live. Agreed about the football teams though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 My serious reaction to Perth is meh s'arite. There is no actual reason to go there, I mean not one. But at the same time there is not much wrong with it. It's obviously not Dundee, Glasgow or Edinburgh, probably on a par with Aberdeen for interest. Obviously better than like a Falkirk or Paisley.

Granny Danger Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 The centre is uninspiring but a wander round the North Inch then over to Branklyn Gardens is pleasant. A trek up Kinnoul is also worth it, an enjoyable walk and stunning scenery over the Tay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although Kinnoul is not in Perth and the views are of Carse of Gowrie and Fife. They can't have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Kinnoull is part of Perth, saying otherwise is madness, its about two minutes from the city centre FFS The view from the top, looking over the city itself, is also beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Fair enough. I regard kinnoul as the tower. The views are like a Scottish Rhineland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
