This has been doing the rounds this morning on social media - a digital reconstruction of the city of Perth, Scotland, from the year 1440, as featured in History Scotland magazine, and created by a partnership between Perth and Kinross Heritage Trust, Smart History Ltd and the Open Virtual Worlds group at the University of St Andrews.

This is a little bit before my Paton lot reached the city (in the 1780s!). You can read more about the project at https://www.historyscotland.com/history/explore-15th-century-perth/, and on medieval Perth at https://medievalperth.org.
