Perth is the UK's first and only UNESCO City of Craft and Folk Art. Craft is an integral part of this area’s history. Mediaeval Perth was a centre of craft production and trade. By the early 1500s, Perth was known as a ‘craftis toun’. This reputation has been maintained throughout the centuries, and today there is still a thriving and reputable Craft and Folk Art sector.The activity of the designation is focused on putting Craft and Folk art at the heart of the city of Perth, our city area of Perth and Kinross, but also to appeal to national and international visitors, welcoming people from around the world to our beautiful landscape. We want to provide authentic experiences which will help understanding of the importance of Craft and Folk Art to wellbeing, the economy and make it a key part of our city plan.
