    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Skinnergate was once a main thoroughfare into Perth. Here, just inside the burgh’s boundaries near the city wall was where the Skinners lived. Other smelly and dangerous crafts were settled just outside the wall. Leather workers lived here, and had stalls to advertise their goods.

Life in medieval Perth was packed, humans lived close to their livestock, workshops were in the houses, and everyone was living within the city walls for protection and privileges. Living in the city meant a strict following of rules and many duties to keep life pleasant for everyone, including gait dichting – the cleaning of streets. Life was regulated mainly by members of the guild and the craft incorporations.

Perth was always known for the quality and variety of its crafted goods, it was called a craftis toun, and people from all over Scotland descended on the city during special fair days to buy and trade gold, silver, precious stones, animals, hides, leather goods, wool, pottery, knives, soap, cloth, luxury goods, corn, the famous Tay salmon, wine, beer, spirits, meat of goat, lamb, deer, cow and pig. So you can imagine how busy and packed the place would have been!]]></dcterms:description>
