It is the administrative centre of Perth and Kinross council area and the historic county town of Perthshire. It had a population of about 47,430 in 2018.

St John's Place
St John's Place (formerly known as Kirkside) is an ancient street in the city of Perth, Scotland, located a short distance southeast of the city centre. Today it runs for about between King Edward Street to the west and St John Street to the east; it is now markedly smaller than when it was originally laid out, due to the construction of both Perth City Hall in 1914 and of St John's Shopping Centre in 1987, both in King Edward Street at the western end. The latter construction also saw the loss of the short-lived St John's Square, which was created in the 1960s. There is also a South St John Street, while North St John Street (formerly College Yard) existed in the early 20th century. The street was established in at least the 12th century, prior to being given its current name, which is derived from St John's Kirk. The church, which stands at the junction of St John's Place and St John Street, is a Category A listed structure. It was completed around 1448, replacing anoth ...

Skinnergate
Skinnergate is a street in the city of Perth, Scotland. Along with Watergate, it is one of the oldest streets in the city.

Listed Building
In the United Kingdom, a listed building or listed structure is one that has been placed on one of the four statutory lists maintained by Historic England in England, Historic Environment Scotland in Scotland, in Wales, and the Northern Ireland Environment Agency in Northern Ireland.
