Let’s get the obvious out of the way: Perth Road is a bit of a climb. If you’re arriving by bus (the number 5 or 22 will do), you’ll be fine—your legs will thank you for the cardio. But if you’re driving, just know the car park feels like it was designed by a mischievous elf who enjoys tight corners. Pro tip: back in if you value your wing mirrors.
But here’s the payoff: from the top of that hill, you get a sweeping view of the River Tay that changes every hour. In the morning, it’s all soft greys and silver glints. By dusk, the sun sets the water on fire. I’m not exaggerating—I’ve taken about seventeen photos, and my phone storage is now a memorial to that sunset.
