'''Perth''' is a large town small city in [[Scotland]] on the edge of the Highlands. While small, due Due to its central location it is very likely that you will find yourself dropped off here at some point during your travels around Scotland. Hitching is made more complicated by the ring road around the city. To save yourself two miles of walking, try to get dropped off on the ring road if you are hitching north, south or west, and try to get dropped in the city center if you are going east.
== Hitching out ==
I know of no easy way to hitch north. From the town centre, walk 1 mile up the A912 to a large roundabout across from an outdoor equipment store (Inveralmond). If you stand on the A912 before the roundabout, you will miss all the traffic coming up from the A9. If you walk a little ways southwest on the A9 there are nice, long areas for trucks to pull over; I got lucky here but traffic moves very fast. Half a mile north of the roundabout is a turnoff where cars could pull over, but there is less space and they will be going fast here as well.
