Immerse Yourself in our Cultural Heritage

For more than 125 years, Perth Theatre has been entertaining audiences in the heart of the city. One of Scotland’s oldest theatres, it continues to bring world-class productions, touring performances and homegrown creativity to local and visiting audiences alike.

Today, Perth Theatre works alongside Perth Concert Hall to create one of Scotland’s most exciting cultural programmes, offering everything from drama, comedy and dance to music, literature and family events. Across Perth and Kinross you’ll also find an impressive collection of cultural venues, from Perth Art Gallery and Birnam Arts to Strathearn Arts, alongside museums, galleries and performance spaces that prove culture thrives far beyond Scotland’s largest cities.

Culture and history go hand in hand, and nowhere tells Scotland’s story better than Perth Museum. Home to the Stone of Destiny, the museum explores the people, places and events that shaped a nation, from ancient kingdoms and royal coronations to the communities that continue to define Scotland today.

As the ancient capital of Scotland, Perth has played a central role in the country’s history for centuries, making the museum the perfect starting point for discovering the wider heritage of Perth and Kinross. Beyond its doors, castles, museums, historic houses and remarkable landmarks bring Scotland’s story vividly to life.

Culture can be found in a dram as much as it can in a gallery. As Scotland’s oldest working distillery, The Glenturret has been crafting whisky in Perthshire for more than 250 years, drawing on generations of skill, tradition and local knowledge.

Whisky remains an important part of Perth and Kinross’s cultural identity, connecting people, landscapes and communities through stories, craftsmanship and hospitality. The Glenturret is just one of many distilleries, breweries and drinks producers that continue this proud tradition, inviting visitors to discover the flavours and heritage that have shaped the region for centuries.
