The experience

Three hours and seven stops: that is the shape of this tour. You walk through Perth with a guide who knows the city, pausing at venues along the way to taste Scottish staples: fizz and oatcakes with cheese, Cullen skink soup, bakery pies, haggis with neeps and tatties, whisky, cranachan, and beer. The tastings add up to roughly a light three-course lunch, so you are eating as you go rather than sitting down to a single meal. The guide points out places of interest on the route and shares local history and facts about the city, with time to stop for photos.

The walk itself is gentle: around 45 minutes of walking on mainly flat surfaces, though some areas have cobblestones, so you can judge whether the terrain suits you. This is the only food walking tour in Perth, and it has been built as an afternoon activity, so the pace and the stops are designed to fit that rhythm. Dietary requirements are catered for as much as possible, and the tour welcomes children from age 12.
