Perth, 21, 23 North Port, Fair Maid's House, Category B listed house in North Port, Perth, Scotland.

The Fair Maid's House stands as a two-story stone building with a carved motto 'Grace and Peace' above its wooden entrance door.

Built in 1475, this structure served as the meeting hall for the Glover Incorporation, a medieval guild that purchased the property in 1622.

The house gained recognition through Sir Walter Scott's 1828 novel 'The Fair Maid of Perth', which set fictional events around this real location.

The Royal Scottish Geographical Society operates this center with exhibitions about Earth sciences, exploration, and mapping in multiple themed rooms.

The north wall contains remnants of the former Blackfriar's Monastery where King James I met his death in 1437.
