More about this scene
An ancient royal burgh, Perth was once capital of Scotland. It was at Perth, in 1559, that John Knox gave his famous sermon from the pulpit of St John's Church, regarded by many as the start of the Reformation in Scotland. Cutting across the middle of the picture is the bridge carrying the Caledonian Railway, while on the far right is the Victoria Road bridge. Between the two are the county buildings, which occupy the site of the house in which the Gowrie conspiracy against James VI was hatched in 1600.
