Perth, Scotland - Where to/ not to live?

[Mike-the-bear]

HI all,

Ill be moving to Perth, Scotland at the beginning of September 2011. Can anyone give me some advice on the areas that are best to live in and those i should avoid please?

Im a 30 y.o male who will be looking for shared accomodation.

Thanks in advance,

Mike

You can just about walk right round the perimeter of the town in a single afternoon - there is nowhere that anyone would seriously advise you to avoid for safety or amenety reasons, snobbery is something else altogether. Look for the accommodation that suits you, if/when you find it then as a second consideration choose what to settle for based on where it is.

If you are buying try to avoid the flood plain.

There was a programme on BBC2 last night about Perth -

Thanks for the link 4candles - I didn't know that it was on.

4candles - I have just watched the TV programme about Perth. It looks like a really lovely place, the sort of place that I would like to move to - alas I already live there and the programme seems to have filmed us on a 'good day'.

Mike - check the Perthshire advertiser on-line - this is our local newspaper and may have some properties for rent. Good luck and remember to bring your waterproofs.
