Tour Scotland Travel Blog Video Best Outdoor House Christmas Lights Perth Perthshire

Tour Scotland travel Blog video of what I think are the best outdoor Christmas Lights on a house on visit to Perth, Perthshire, Scotland. It has become increasingly common for Scots to decorate the outside of their house or cottage with weatherproof Christmas lights. A familiar pastime during the holiday season is to drive or walk around neighbourhoods in the evening to see the lights displayed on and around other homes. While some homes have no lights, others may have incredibly ornate displays which require weeks to construct.
