You would jostle with your fellow men coming in to buy and sell if you lived locally. You might bring your sheep or cattle, your family and the dogs, of course. It would be lively and loud and smelly on a market day in Perth. You would be entertained and be able to buy necessities for your life and imported goods from England, France, Scandinavia and the Baltic. It was always a fine day at a market in Perth! Markets and Fairs in medieval Perth were a grand affair. People would be jostling to get thought the Ports into the city, they would mingle with livestock, other folk from around the city, entertainers, pickpockets, rich and poor. Markets were held regularly in town, and grand fairs would attract even more people travelling especially to Perth to be entertained, and buy and sell their produce. The city’s ports (entry gates) were around the protective and defensive city wall, with the West Port being right here, where the High Street now crosses Methven Street. Walk down the High Street and imagine it filled with people, animals, smells, shouts, laughter, and busyness. You will eventually arrive at the Mercat Cross where you can find out about the newest announcements and gossip of the day. Date Submitted Date of submission of the resource.
