Perth, North Inch and Rose Terrace
Image: © Brian Toner Taken: 31 May 2010
Rose Terrace is the central part of the development that was meant to be Perth's new town in Georgian times. The block in the middle is the old Perth Academy, used as a school until 1938. Most of the dwellings are occupied by private residents. In front is part of the North Inch, a vast parkland which dates back at least 800 years. Today it is used for recreation and laid out with football, rugby and hockey pitches through the winter and provision for cricket in summer. In the past it hosted grazing cattle and bleachers and was the site of the Battle of the Clans in 1396.
