Lady Macbeth

Lady Macbeth: Perth and Kinross

Overlooking North Inch Park and the River Tay, this classic apartment sits in a handsome, Georgian building. High ceilings, detailed cornicing and big sash windows all combine to create the feeling of stepping back into the 19th century inside. The grand entrance hall with old maps on the wall sets the tone of tradition and opulence. Heading through to the living room you’re met with park views and a drawing room feel from Persian rugs and plush sofas with faux fur throws. The dine-in kitchen is more than big enough to accommodate the bustle of family breakfast time, and there’s dining for the whole group at the long table. We particularly love the quirky design touches in the bedrooms – a headboard depicting a bucolic etching and a sparkling chandelier in the smallest bedroom. At the end of the day, the claw-footed tub in the main bathroom beckons for a long soak. You’re in the centre of Perth here, where a few steps sees you following the River Tay walk out into the countryside if you wish. You’re also less than two minutes from local pubs with live folk music, restaurants serving haggis, neeps and tatties, and local art galleries and museums a-plenty.
