Talk:Perth, Scotland

message: Is Perth a city? This article consistently refers to it as being such, but the Scotland article states that there are 6 cities in Scotland, and Perth is not among them.
Does Perth have a cathedrale? 
The nomenclature should be consistent. 129.234.4.10 02:29, 22 Feb 2004 (UTC)

thread_title: Is Perth a city?

message: Hi all just wanted to let you know that i've been dabbing Perth, the list is now below 50 will have it down to hopefully just this page by end month.  My appologies if i've dabbed the wrong way let me know i'll fix Gnangarra 13:58, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  dab Perth 

message: I agree that a search on Perth alone should show all centres with the name PERTH whether they are 200 years old or whether they have a population of 2,000,000 or 2.
But what I cant fathom is when time is spent correcting links from the disambiguation page to the article that is object of the link people are going back and removing the disambiguation. Gnangarra 14:32, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  How Stupid 

message: I know its a sore point with some Editors that other centres are also called Perth.
Given that all of these centres have for various reason been named after the fair city should it be a topic within the article that its the origin of the name for all these other centres. As the other centres acknowledge their naming origins can Perth not take pride in its legacy to other parts of the world. Gnangarra 13:50, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Why on earth should it be a sore point? I'm sure that those other places were named by people who had fond memories of Perth. Naturally Perth takes pride in those other Perths founded in its name. The Perth page contains this information, although not as prominently as it used to, and I think that it would be an excellent idea to add a paragraph on this to the current article. -- Derek Ross | Talk 15:58, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Perth - The Name 

message: Hi  I was reading your article and noticed that Alexander links go to disambig pages suggest someone who knows more about the articles check the links, Then consider putting it forward for FAC  Gnangarra 01:35, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Disambig - Alexanders 

message: From where comes the pre-historic dating of 7000 BC? It is somewhat odd to me, as I was teached other things at school on European pre-history (of course I might be teached wrong :-)).
Also the wording of the sentence "The name derives from a Pictish word ..." is confusing me. It is probably the name of the city but why it is not in the overview section then. -- Goldie (tell me) 21:38, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: There were hunter-gatherers in the area by then, as shown by several finds of flint tools in the town, but the boat seems to be later and I've not found any references to a Perth hut or midden excavation. A site at Crail shows occupation around 7500 BC, not too far away. Have reorganised the naming into a separate section for clarity, hope that helps. ..dave souza, talk 22:10, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  The Enchanted Kingdom? 

message: Does anybody know where (or perhaps what) "Loswa" was/is in Perth (or perhaps Perthshire)?
I've found it as some kind of place in an old text, but it does't seem to appear on modern maps, and Google isn't much help either. It is possible it is mis-spelt, as the text is from 1851. -- Jza84 · (talk) 00:59, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Could you say a bit more about the context in which it was mentioned? I have a few older books and maps. It could even be an acronym for something. Grievous Angel (talk) 10:17, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's given as a place of birth for someone, as "Loswa, Perth, Scotland" exactly. Perth in this instance may mean the County of Perth, but even so, I've never heard of it and can't find it Perth or Perthshire. It doesn't even look like a particularly Scottish place, so I'm really confused with this one. I'd be eternally greatful if someone cracks this! -- Jza84 · (talk) 14:07, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, I'd forgotten all about this. No conclusive answer for you from me. I think we can rule out a place name. My best guess would be Lands of Scone…something? Welfare Association, maybe? Note, this is pure guess work! If someone was really poor they might have been born directly into the care of the "poorhouse". A portion of the Lands of Scone were given to provide income for the destitute in Perth. Grievous Angel (talk) 13:18, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

message: As a Perth resident, I'd just like to point out that the view down the High  Street in the picture is to the East, not the North. That's because the High Street is side on (perpendicular) to the Tay, which runs North/ South at Perth.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.143.135.147 (talk) 21:42, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

message: "During the middle of the 15th century, the church deliberately fell in disrepair, when most of the revenues were used by David I to fund Dunfermline Abbey."
Third line of "Landmarks". Don't personally know much about Perth, but I do know that David I was king in the 12th century rather than the 15th, and that Dunfermline Abbey was one of his foundations, so I'll change it even though it's referenced. Brendandh (talk) 15:24, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

message: Under 'Economy' section, there is sentence:  Pedestrianisation of High Street runs from Tay Street to South Street.

message: The following statement is unreferenced - Only since the late 19th century has the name of the town itself been fixed as Perth. Just wondering if there was a source for this. Hack (talk) 01:43, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: It's been Perth for centuries, at least since being granted royal burgh status hundreds of years ago, anything else since is a colloquial term such as "St John's Toun" a bit like Auld Reekie for Edinburgh or the Big Smoke for London. I've seen rubbish such as St John's Toun was an ancient(!) name for Perth (shamefully used on the city's own football team website) so many times I just give up. --Grievous Angel (talk) 09:56, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: This has now been updated to say - "Perth was referred to as "St. Johns ton" up until the mid 1600s with the name "Perthia" being reserved for the wider area.[4] At this time, "Perthia" became "Perth Shyre" and "St. Johns ton" became known as Perth.[4]". Reference [4] is a Latin map from 1659 that shows the location as "Pert or S Iohns toun" but doesn't really give any more insight. Hack (talk) 04:42, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

message: "The construction of Smeaton’s bridge in 1771 had a considerable effect on the town centre, leading to the insertion of George Street. In the 19th century St John Street, Scott Street and Kinnoull Street were inserted into the historic centre of the town; Mill Street, North Methven Street, South Methven Street, Canal Crescent and Canal Street were created or widened over the now culverted lade; Tay Street was formed; and substantial suburbs were developed on all sides. The last major insertion into the historic core was King Edward Street in 1904–5, named after Edward VII." - https://tafac.org.uk/perth.pdf - Seasider53 (talk) 22:38, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
