Insight

You'll find Insight tucked away in Perth, a contemporary gallery that punches well above its weight. The space focuses on visual art and installations - the kind of place where you can spend twenty minutes or two hours depending on what's on and how deep you want to go. It's not a major draw like the National Museum, but it's proper worth a look if you're staying nearby and want something beyond the usual stately home circuit.

The gallery works brilliantly if you're the type who gets a buzz from seeing new work and supporting local artists. Kids will either love it or get restless within half an hour, depending on the exhibition. There's no gift shop theatre here - just decent art in a manageable space. Photography enthusiasts and anyone interested in contemporary practice should make the trip.

Perth itself is genuinely central, so you could easily combine Insight with a morning walk along the Tay or a browse of the high street. If you're camping at Scone Camping and Caravanning Club Site - one of the best-rated spots in the area - or staying at Perth Caravan Park, you're well positioned to check it out without adding hours to your route. Newmill Farm, six miles out, is also handy if you fancy basing yourself slightly further out.

Head in during a quieter weekday if you can. You'll get proper space to look at things without feeling rushed. Allow ninety minutes maximum unless they've got a show that specifically speaks to you.
