Perth Art Gallery

The Perth Art Gallery sits right in the heart of Perth, a short walk from the high street, and it's the sort of place you can dip into for twenty minutes or spend a good couple of hours without feeling rushed. The collection spans Scottish art across several centuries - you'll find everything from nineteenth-century landscapes to contemporary work, and the rotating exhibitions mean there's always something fresh on when you visit.

It's genuinely free to get in, which makes it an easy call on a rainy afternoon or when you fancy a break from the caravan. The space itself is airy and well-lit, and staff are knowledgeable without being pushy. History buffs will appreciate the Scottish context of most pieces, but honestly, you don't need to be an art devotee to enjoy a wander round. Families with older kids tend to fare better here than those with toddlers - it's not interactive, and there's not a huge amount to keep under-eights entertained for long.

If you're camped at Scone Camping and Caravanning Club Site or Perth Caravan Park, you're basically on the doorstep. Even from Newmill Farm, it's only a fifteen-minute drive into town. Pop in before lunch, grab a coffee nearby, and you've got a solid morning sorted. Worth the visit if you're in Perth proper; less of a reason to drive specifically to see it if you're staying further out.
