Day trip to Perth - Part 2

Here’s the second instalment of our Day Trip to Perth Guide. I hope this helps you plan the perfect post lockdown adventure!
No.1

Little Bird

Make your first stop of the day a visit to Little Bird. Run by the lovely Camilla, this fresh and bright café is a favourite with locals. Specialising in Instagram grid worthy breakfasts and lunches you’ll be in awe of their beautifully presented dishes. They of course taste just as good as they look!

No. 2

Silver Linings

A colourful shop situated right at the end of our High Street. Pop on in to view their handpicked collection of gifts and jewellery.

No. 3

Tayberry Gallery

Just along the road from us you’ll find Louise & Sarah in the amazing Tayberry Gallery. Another great stop for local art, jewellery and gifts. Louise and Sarah are also super talented artists them selves, Louise creates beautiful hand carved wooden spoons and pins while Sarah is a talented silversmith creating delicate jewellery that I just love. *hint hint Neil.

Underneath the Arches

Well, if you can’t find me in my own shop, this is where I’ll be. This AMAZING emporium of vintage finds, furniture and curios is a must must must visit. Underneath the Arches is run by the lovely Lou and is just a 1 minute walk from us, you won’t leave here empty handed. I never do!

Revival

Revival can be found on George Street just a short walk from us. This lovely shop is full of designer finds but without the designer price tags. From occasion ware to casual ware and designer bags to stunning shoes, it’s always worth popping in for a look at their ever changing collection.

Craigdon Mountain Sports

Craigdon is our local one stop shop for everything you would ever need for an outdoor adventure. Carla stocks a wide selection of outdoor ware, equipment and accessories. Neil could spend hours in here just ogling the skis.

Cafe Tabou

Love French cuisine, then you’ll love this gem of a restaurant. Café Tabou can be found in the Café Quarter and is a great stop for a light lunch and a glass of wine.

Branklyn Garden

This stunning National Trust garden is just a short 15 minute walk from our shop. Just cross the road or rail bridge and take a leisurely walk through the Norie Miller sculpture trail, cross the Dundee Road and find yourself at the gates of Branklyn Gardens. A 2 acre hillside garden planted with seeds from international plant hunters, this little oasis in the City is a great escape for plant lovers.
