There's plenty to be happy about in the Fair City of Perth

"I CAN understand why Perth was named Scotland’s happiest place,” says lifelong resident Colin Murray. “It’s so liveable, with great food, loads to see and do, and really friendly people – it’s more like a large village than a stressful big city.”

I see what he means – we’ve only been on this ghost tour for five minutes and already Colin has waved at half-a-dozen people. And we’ve not even mentioned the beavers yet. Yes, beavers. In a Scottish city.

Perth has plenty to smile about, as I find when I head back for the first time since that happiness award in 2020.
