Hear tales of warring clans and betrayal in Scotland’s former capital on this self-guided audio tour. Experience the magic of GPS playback on this immersive stroll through Perth. Perth is one of Scotland’s most important medieval cities. Because of its proximity to Scone, where ancient monarchs were crowned, it was once central to royal life. This walking tour explores the former capital’s royal links and the violence that often accompanied them. You’ll explore the city’s almost prehistoric origins, with evidence showing that hunter-gatherers lived here 8,000 years ago, predating the Romans in Britain. As you continue, you’ll hear the story of King James VI’s alleged abduction by the powerful Ruthven family. I’ll also tell you about his ancestor King James I of Scotland. Join me for a Scottish sojourn beside the River Tay. This is a great introduction to Scotland’s first capital city. If you like history, with a bit of intrigue and murder, this is the tour for you!
