Shop Until You Drop on North & South Methven Street 

It’s Gifts Galore for Them and You! 

Offering everything from life's essentials – beer and buttons – to truly specialised items, this glorious stretch of shops, cafes and bars, starts at the beautiful St Ninian’s Cathedral and runs down to The Silvery Tay pub.  

Proudly independent, there are no multi-nationals and no more-of-the-same chains. Instead, you will find a street packed full of the wonderful, family-owned businesses that make Perth unique and galvanise our Scotland-wide reputation as a place for speciality shopping. 

Boasting hundreds of years of trade between them, long-standing favourites such as Marian’s of Perth, Lorna Davies Florist, and WTG Henderson Jewellers, have welcomed the next generation of independent shopkeepers in Tay Larder and the Craft Beer Bottle Shop. 

So, whether you're looking for a commission on a diamond engagement ring, a wee poke of sweeties, or a cup of great coffee, Methven Street is worth a second look!  

Also leads to: Murray Street, Old High Street, Hospital Street
