Always Big on Style and Fun
Starting at the silvery River Tay, Perth’s High Street stretches through the heart of the city, past St Paul’s Plaza and into its namesake, the Old High Street.
Sitting alongside big name, national brands, the independents on Perth’s High Street bring a colourful and unique point of difference to the pedestrianised city centre. Think European fashion from Evalucia, the quirkiest of gifts from Hell Yeah and handmade, bombastic blondies from the team at Rabbit Hole Cakes!
And for an extra special gift, the High Street boasts three quality jewellers, to suit all budgets and styles: T. Paterson Jeweller, Number Five Goldsmiths, and Silver Linings Jewellery Design Studio. How will you ever choose?
Beautiful shops, great service and quality goods – just as every High Street should be!
Also leads to: New Row, St Paul’s Square
