Badger

You'll find this gallery tucked away in Perth, and it's the sort of place that rewards a bit of curiosity. Badger is a proper working gallery space - the kind where you can actually see artists getting on with things rather than just wandering past sealed-off studios. The setup is refreshingly unpretentious: contemporary art that doesn't require a degree to appreciate, shown in an intimate setting that makes you feel like you've stumbled onto something real rather than walked into a corporate machine.

It's best suited to anyone who fancies a bit of art without the stuffiness. Serious collectors will find work worth their attention, but equally, if you're just after an hour's culture between park activities, this won't exhaust you. The space itself is compact - you're not going to spend all afternoon here, which is fine. Allow 45 minutes to an hour, depending on whether something grabs you.

The nearest caravan parks - Perth Caravan Park and Scone Camping Club Site just up the road - make it easy to base yourself here for a few days. This works well as a quick gallery stop before heading elsewhere in Perthshire, or as a reason to spend an afternoon properly exploring Perth itself. Neither a detour nor a reason to cancel your trip, but a genuine addition to a park holiday if you're the type who appreciates seeing what local artists are up to.
