Perth, Ontario is a very beautiful town, founded by the Scots from the original Perth some 7,000 miles to the east in the early 1800s. They even named the river that runs through town, the Tay, which we stayed near during our venture to Scotland in 07. Here's the river and a restaurant on it in Perth. The tower is from the 1830s fire house and was used to dry the fire hoses ... never want to leave your hose wet overnight ... ahh, those Scots!




I showed you a picture of the interior of the pub we had a great meal at called O'Reilly's and here is an exterior shot.

And this shot of an old grain mill really looks like its counterpart in Scotland. Perth, Ontario is well worth a visit, especially if you are visiting Ottawa, about fifty miles away.
