View across Perth
Looking towards the distant snow-covered hills from the Pitheavlis car park, the white building of Perth Academy with its central clock tower is prominent. Just below the horizon at the right of the picture (between the bare silver birches) it is just possible to make out the recently-erected turbines at Drumderg wind farm Image

Starting the working day
The office car park is lit by the morning sun, which is still quite red. In the distance the snow-covered hills around Crieff are standing out.

Leisure centre, Pitheavlis
When General Accident opened their Head Office at Pitheavlis this was built as the on-site sports and social club. In more recent years it has operated independently, with a membership drawn from across Perth. Its future is now uncertain.

Pitheavlis office building
Looking down at the main entrance. The building is stepped into the hillside, with the entrance on the fourth floor. To further blend it into its surroundings in accordance with planning regulations, rooftop gardens were planted (and are still maintained) on the lower floors. The building was completed in June 1983 as the head office of General Accident. The architects were James Parr and Partners of Dundee.

Training Centre, Pitheavlis
This building was originally designed to provide residential training facilities for General Accident. It is no longer needed for this purpose and the lower part of the site is advertised as suitable for redevelopment.
The playing fields visible over the rooftops belong to Perth Academy.

Ronald Rae statue
This ten ton granite statue, 'Return of the Prodigal', was commissioned in 1983 by General Accident for their new world headquarters in Perth, now part of the Aviva group. It has recently been moved from its original position to the other side of the main driveway. Rae used the parable of the prodigal son to depict General Accident's motto 'I warn and I protect'.
The cottages in the background are on the other side of Necessity Brae.
