Look around the small vennels in the old centre of Perth, especially those that lead to the kirk, and you will see many crafts mentioned that would shape the life of medieval Perth citizens. Perth was a central focal point for trade in the country and it became rich and important through manufacturing and commerce. It was known as a local centre for trade which was strictly regulated by the guild and officers who supervised prices, the quality of the goods, weights, measures and any potential breach of monopolies. Perth’s Merchant Guild dates back to the year 1210. Especially powerful were the twelve incorporated crafts representing (in order of influence and importance) Hammermen, Baxters, Glovers, Shoemakers, Fleshers, Tailors, Websters, Wrights, Skinners, Tanners, Maltsters, and Brewers. The goods manufactured in Perth were of very high standard, and especially gloves were traded and presented at official functions as high class status symbols. At markets in Perth, agricultural products and materials such as leather, skins, woolfells and wool, corn, flax, and wood were a big part of the medieval economy and provided the raw ingredients for the craftsmen to work with. Other important materials, such as metal were readily imported and arrived mainly by ship on the River Tay. Date Submitted Date of submission of the resource.
