Blairgowrie and Rattray War Memorial

Reviewed By profjoypc - Alnwick, United Kingdom

We visited here on Remembrance Sunday and it was very emotional to witness the pipe players and short service of remembrance at this fine memorial in this strange year when social distancing must be obeyed and crowds could not gather. The monument is right in the heart of the town in a small garden with trees and a very peaceful atmosphere.

Melville Monument

Reviewed By robertsQ8280RT

It is quite a strenuous walk up to the monument from the Deil’s Cauldron across the road but it is well worth the walk. The views across Strathearn in both directions are simply stunning. Heading off the summit northwards gives a much gentler ascent and a circular return back to Comrie.

River Tay Public Art Trail

Reviewed By Vivekananda_L - Dundee, United Kingdom

Have had some lovely walks around the art trail, through the wonderful heather (all maintained by volunteers) across the Railway Bridge which is a bit of a treat for little people and back onto Tay Street. As you come off the Railway Bridge turn left back under the bridge to the sculpture at the Fergusson Museum and if opened then this is also well worth a visit, be sure to spend at least half an hour there if not more. The whole trail takes in the pedestrian area of Perth and (parts of 4) lovely parks. If disabled access is required there are on street alternatives to what is shown on the leaflet (can be had at the Tourist info place on the High St) or from the online story map (an excellent interactive map with pics and text provided for free by the Council), the only difficulty would be the many stairs coming off of the railway bridge. The alternative is to backup through the Riverside park and cross the Tay via the Queens Bridge.
