King Street Railway Bridge
The bridge carries the line from Perth eastwards to Dundee. On the stonework under the bridge is a plaque with information about the Highland Railway. This seems rather odd, as the line was part of the Caledonian Railway

Electric Lighting Company emblem, James Street
A decorated metal plate over what appears to be some kind of wall junction box (if that's the right term) for early electric street lighting in 1900. It dates from the time when being a royal burgh was still a badge of municipal pride. (Royal burghs were officially abolished in 1975, but the name refuses to die.) The Latin motto "Pro rege lege et grege" translates as "For the King, the Law and the People". Since the emblem does not appear to be the burgh arms, I assume it was the company's own.
For an explanation of royal burghs, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_burgh

St Leonard's-in-the-Fields, Perth
Church of Scotland on King's Place at the corner with Scott Street and overlooking South Inch. St Leonard's-in-the-Fields is a fine example of the late Gothic revival style with outstanding architectural features of the crown tower and the heavy buttresses.
