The rare opportunity to see behind the scenes at some of the most historic and interesting building across Perth and Kinross was on offer at the weekend.
More than 70 buildings took part this year in the popular Doors Open Day, ranging from Perth Sheriff Court to the Masonic Hall in Coupar Angus.
Perth Mosque and Islamic Society in Glasgow Road, Farquhar and Son Ltd, Printers, St Andrew Street, and Inveralmond Brewery, all Perth, opened their doors to allow a glimpse of their premises.
Megginch Orchard by Errol, Balvaird Castle, Glenfarg, and the Earthquake House, Comrie, along with Castle Huntly prison at Longforgan, also attracted their share of the curious.
This year’s programme was linked to the national theme of Year of Natural Scotland so some gardens were included in the programme.
There was also a history and horror tour of Perth led by “John Lang”, career criminal and part-time bodysnatcher who was executed in Perth in 1817, who took groups on a humorous walk through Perth’s past.
The event was organised and funded by Perth and Kinross Heritage Trust and nationally coordinated by the Scottish Civic Trust.
Doors Open Day is a chance to discover the architecture, design, buildings, places and spaces right on one’s doorstep or explore a new part of the country.
