I grew up in Perthshire. Perth was always called the Gateway To The Highlands.

Perth has always been known as the gateway to the Highlands but in the 18th century the Highlands included all of the Trossachs and anywhere north-west of Stirling. Aberdeenshire, Angus and Kincardine have never been considered part of the Highlands.
