July 13th photograph of Perth, Scotland. Sitting on the banks of the River Tay, Perth is the historic county town of Perthshire. Perth has been known as The Fair City, since the publication of the story, Fair Maid of Perth by the Scottish writer Sir Walter Scott in 1828. During the medieval period, the town was also given two alternative names, St. John's Toun or Saint Johnstoun by its English speaking inhabitants in reference to the main church dedicated to St John The Baptist.
