About Chimney Sweeps

A chimney sweep cleans flues and chimneys to remove soot, tar and blockages - essential for anyone with an open fire, wood burner or multi-fuel stove.

An annual sweep is recommended for any chimney in regular use and many home insurance policies require it.

Look for a sweep registered with the Guild of Master Chimney Sweeps or HETAS and keep the certificate they issue - your insurer may ask for it.

About Perth

Perth is the principal city of Perth and Kinross, sitting on the banks of the River Tay roughly halfway between Edinburgh and Inverness.

Known historically as the Fair City, it served as the de facto capital of Scotland for much of the medieval period and traces of that significance remain in its architecture and civic life.

The city centre has a good mix of independent shops, restaurants and national retailers, anchored by the pedestrianised High Street and St John's Kirk, the medieval church at the heart of the city.

Perth is well connected by road and rail, with direct trains to Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee and Inverness, making it a practical base for those who travel regularly.

The surrounding countryside - Kinnoull Hill, the North Inch and South Inch parklands and the River Tay itself - gives Perth an unusually green and open feel for a city of its size.

About Perth and Kinross

(opens in new tab)

Perth and Kinross is a large council area in the heart of Scotland, stretching from the lowland farmland of Strathearn and the Carse of Gowrie in the south to the remote Cairngorm peaks and Highland glens of Atholl and Rannoch in the north.

Perth - the 'Fair City' - is the administrative centre and largest settlement, a compact and handsome city at the tidal limit of the River Tay that served as Scotland's capital in the medieval period and retains a civic confidence well beyond its size.

The area divides naturally into Highland and Lowland: south of the Highland Boundary Fault lie the fertile straths and market towns of Strathearn, Kinross-shire and the Carse; north of it, the landscape rises steeply into the Grampians, with Pitlochry, Aberfeldy and Blair Atholl strung along the great routes into the Highlands.

Kinross-shire, historically a separate county, sits in the south-east around Loch Leven - a nationally important nature reserve and the setting for one of Scotland's most dramatic episodes of royal captivity - and retains a distinct local identity within the wider council area.

Transport links converge on Perth, where the M90, A9 and main rail lines from Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee and Inverness meet, making the city one of the best-connected in Scotland - though the more remote Highland communities depend on the A9 trunk road and its long-awaited dualling programme.
