	Perth, Scotland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Perth was the historic capital of the Kingdom of Scotland, as well as being the county town of the former county of Perthshire.
		Perth has given its name to many other settlements around the world, most notably Perth, Western Australia (at the wish of Sir George Murray, Secretary of State for War and the Colonies, that the settlement be named after his birthplace as well as his parliamentary seat in the British House of Commons).
		In the 12th and 13th centuries, Perth was one of the richest trading burghs in the kingdom (along with such towns as Berwick, Aberdeen and Roxburgh), residence of numerous craftsmen, organised into guilds (eg the Hammermen [metalworkers] or Glovers).
