Explore Medieval Perth at Perth Museum on Saturday 12th of August

Explore the past using technology of the future on Saturday 12th August in Perth Museum. Discover digital reconstruction snapshots from Medieval Perth, featuring Perth High Street and Market,  launched in the museum.

Perth in the 1440s was the gateway between the worlds of highland and lowland Scotland. Situated near to Scone Abbey, where Scottish Kings were crowned, Perth was one of the wealthiest burghs in the Kingdom. 

The digital reconstruction is set shortly after the murder of King James I of Scotland at Perth’s Dominican friary. The reconstructions will bring the streets of Medieval Perth back to life during this significant but tumultuous time in history.

With a mobile phone and a Google Cardboard headset, you will be able to compare the modern day Perth to the medieval burgh. Exclusively on 12 August, try an Oculus Rift and X-box controller to walk down the actual medieval streets of Perth and transport yourself back to fifteenth-century Scotland. 

Be the first to download a preview of the Medieval Perth Virtual Reality directly to your mobile phone and experience Perth’s history in Virtual Reality.
