A wee detour to Perth

Perth,  Scotland

Had two full luggage bags on this trip since I am here 3 months and during colder weather so one had all winter clothes.  Turned out it was a bank holiday with big events in both Edinburgh and Nethy Bridge areas so I decided to stay somewhere between Edinburgh and Nethy Bridge for a couple of days so chose Perth.  Great train ride from airport to Perth. Everyone super nice and helpful.  It turned out to be a great decision.

Victorian Station Hotel

What a neat place! Chose the "Station Hotel" because it was right across from the train station.  It was built in 1888 and was frequently visited by Queen Victoria.   The historic town center has bookstores,  great walking streets, wonderful sculptures, and a river running along the edge.  Walked a good bit each day I was here.  Plenty to see and do.

The 2^ndday, woke to rain, so decided to stay in area and visit a museum and Waterstone's bookstore.   I wanted to see the Scone Palace, but all buses were not running on Sunday so decided I would come back and visit later.

 Tomorrow I take the train to Aviemore, near Nethy Bridge, my final destination.  Lesley will pick me up and go over house needs with me before she returns to Edinburgh. The Scottish adventure then officially begins.
