To round off a day in Perthshire, the range of nightlife is perhaps surprisingly extensive. Visit during a festival or highland gathering in particular and the choice of evening entertainment is particularly good - but whatever the time of year there is much to entertain young and old alike.

Nightclubs and cinema are to be found in Perth, and both Perth and Pitlochry boast acclaimed theatres. Perth is also very much on the touring concert circuit although the area's musical treats don't just end there. Perthshire is home to a number of talented musicians and in many communities you will find informal sessions and ceilidhs that fill the evening air with music, song and laughter.

For families, Perth Leisure Pool, just off the Glasgow Road, is Scotland 's most advanced water-works complete with flumes, wild-water rides, and outdoor lagoon and bubble beds. There is also a good diner & bistro.

Further west is Bell 's Cherrybank Gardens just off the A9 on the Glasgow Road and part of the whisky distiller, Arthur Bell's head office. It incorporates the Bell 's National Heather Collection along with a bright, pleasant cafe.
