Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    On Sunday we were booked on to the customised Christmas tour at Scone Palace. The festive decorations were impressively tasteful and tasteful and the ambience created by candles and fires was only surpassed by the interesting, engaging and informative tour provided by our guide Aileen. Not only could we access the Palace grounds but both the cafe and both shops were open ( unusual for a Scottish attraction in December) and I was able to buy my wife a suitably cosy seasonal hand-knitted hat! It proved a lovely way to spend a few hours on a dark December day. Thanks to all involved.

    Excellent museum! Thoughtfully curated pieces which bring home the reality of death and how it can happen so easily in wartime. Extremely well put together.

    Really interesting historic attraction, the staff were absolutely lovely too. So many extras to help you enjoy the attraction - torches to look at the detailed paintings and so on.

    Kinnoull Hill was one of the highlights of my trip to Scotland - the views from the top were incredible. I was lucky enough to see a rainbow while I was at the top which made the view even better 🤩

    It was quite a steep walk up through the woods (which was trickier going downhill) but there were some benches once you get to the very top which make a nice spot for a picnic lunch.

    Beautiful gardens with huge variety of flowers, plants, trees. Self-guided walk through the two acres allowed us to stroll at our own pace and stop to take photos.

    We went to see Walk Right Back - the Everly Brothers story which was excellent. The concert hall is a nice modern venue with good views from all seats. It has good modern facilities and a bar and coffee shop.

    Popped in as we found ourselves at a loose end in Perth. Was wonderful to see a lovely building redecorated in a unique and innovative way was lovely. Loved the kids area, and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Loved the young Scot's collection, great that a local charity is doing so much for the community and raising awareness of diversity. Also liked the historical awareness, was great for all the family.

    On a very wet day we arrived at Stanley Mills to be greeted by two lovely ladies on reception . We spent probably an hour and a half navigating our way to all floor of this very interesting building. When funds allow a bigger cafe and shop would be an asset.
