People in Perth Prison are given careers advice and help with life skills to prepare to return to communities when they leave.
Finding work after leaving prison is important in helping people transition back into communities and avoid reoffending.

John Duncan Fergusson (1874-1961) was one of the most important and influential artists in Britain in the first half of the 20th century. Born in Edinburgh, with ancestral links to Perthshire, he spent much of his career in France and is now most associated with the Scottish Colourist group. The Fergusson Gallery holds his vast collection of artwork and associated archive, along with the archive of his lifelong companion, the pioneer of modern dance, Margaret Morris.
The collections were gifted in two major donations; the Fergusson Collection was donated by the J D Fergusson Art Foundation in 1991, following which the Margaret Morris Archive was gifted in 2010.
The Gallery is housed in the former Perth Water Works of 1832. It is one of Scotland's most significant industrial buildings and is the earliest identified example of a large scale cast-iron building in Scotland. It may be the very first in the world. Occupying a critical corner site at one of the main entry points to the city, its rotunda with dome and tall engine house chimney is visible from many vantage points, providing the city with one of its most distinctive landmarks.
The Water Works was built to designs by Adam Anderson, the rector of Perth Academy. Clean water was drawn from filter beds at Moncreiffe Island in the Tay and pumped under the river by a steam-engine into the tank within the rotunda. It held 146,000 gallons of water producing enough to supply nearly all the town's commercial and residential needs. The buildings became redundant when a new city waterworks was opened in 1965. The original urn atop the engine house chimney was destroyed by lightning in 1871.
It was restored in 1973 for use as a Tourist Information Centre by James Morris & Robert Steedman. The building was further converted to an art gallery for the display of JD Fergusson's works and other temporary exhibitions in 1992. The dome was reconstructed by Bell Ingram Design in 2003 as part of a £1 million restoration funded by The Heritage Lottery, Historic Scotland and Perth & Kinross Council to safeguard its national significance as a key monument to Scottish water engineering.

A cool building in Perth, Western Australia, pretty average in the day time, but very cool at night, it changes colours every couple of seconds.

Built in 1882, The Royal Hotel was right at the centre of activity in Perth and remains a landmark today. Its two floors are dotted with Victorian features such as a wrap-around verandah, original balustrading, exposed ceiling beams, wooden floorboards and arched windows. It is, says Parker, a building to behold.
