About

Perth City Centre ward encompasses the historic core of Perth, situated on the banks of the River Tay. The area is defined by its mix of administrative functions, retail activity, and residential streets. Key landmarks include St John's Kirk and the Perth Museum and Art Gallery, housed in a former civic building. The ward contains the main shopping thoroughfares and the general layout follows the medieval street pattern, with the riverfront providing open spaces.

The ward is the civic heart of Perth and Kinross, containing the council headquarters at Perth & Kinross Council. It functions as the primary commercial and business hub for the wider region. A specific feature is the presence of the Fair Maid's House, one of the city's oldest secular buildings, located near the river. The area transitions from busy commercial zones to quieter residential neighbourhoods within its boundaries.
