....easy to get here

Perth Racecourse is situated in what is widely recognised as one of the most picturesque settings in the country. Within the grounds of historic Scone Palace the course skirts the banks of the mighty River Tay and weaves its way past trees that have stood for centuries, since the time when this was the playground of the Kings and Noblemen of Scotland. The famous Stone of Destiny was once housed here and is perhaps shortly to be returned after seven centuries absence.

Perth has excellent transport communications, being only 3 miles from the national motorway network, 40 minutes from Edinburgh airport and having its own main line railway station. There is a regular raceday bus service from central Perth (Mill Street) to the course.

Helicopter landing facilities are available on the course and private aircraft may land at nearby Scone Airfield, by prior arrangement with the Racecourse.

Edinburgh, Dundee and Glasgow are all within an hours travelling distance and our many patrons from Aberdeen can be with us in under two.

Vehicular access to the course has been improved in recent years with special traffic management arrangements in place on race days to ensure easy arrival and departure.

We look forward to welcoming you to Perth Races for the 2004 season.
