The 'Gateway to the Highlands'
According to the Central Place Theory, Perth would be considered a relatively large town in Scotland located on the banks of the River Tay. Classically, Perth has been a city. In the late 1990s, the definition of a city was re-examined by Her Majesty's Government and on the official list of the cities in Scotland, Perth was omitted. On March 12, 2012, Perth's city status was reinstated, making it Scotland's seventh city.
As of 2010, the population was estimated to be 45, 770. Near Perth is Dundee, a relatively large city (not a regional city) with a population of 144, 170. Also, near Perth is Glenrothes, a town with a population of 38, 940.
Perth has a small airport, Perth Airport, located at New Scone. This airport offers pilot training and private aircrafts, which would not be available in a smaller place. This airport does not offer commercial flights out, which would be offered in a larger city or Regional city such as Glasgow.
