A celebration of place makes a great starting point for Reminiscence. Whether it is special landmarks, spectacular scenery, histories, heroes, stories, songs or traditions, every place has its own character and footprint that surrounds our everyday life.

​

Here is a brief exploration of the Fair City of Perth, originally St John's Toun, using an ABC of Local Distinctiveness, adapted from the charity Common Ground, to help people discover new perspectives of their neighbourhoods by exploring what makes them the characterful places they are. 

​

Your ABC of Perth or any other fond place will inevitably be different but equally important in exploring what you value in your personal history and in your community. It carries whispers of the past but points towards what we choose to value and remember now and in the future.

WHERE is your fond place?

Perth and Kinross has so many beautiful places.

Dunkeld is many people's fond place so musical duo PlaidSong

have made a beautiful film about Dunkeld

and its famous fiddler Niel Gow and his precious

musical legacy.
