North Inch

North Inch is a large public park in Perth, Scotland. About 57 hectares in size, it is one of two "Inches" in Perth, the other being the smaller, 31-hectare South Inch, located half a mile across the city. The inches were granted to the city, when it was a royal burgh, by King Robert II in 1374. Both inches were once islands in the River Tay; today, they are connected by Tay Street, part of the A989.

The inch was the site of the "Battle of the Clans" in 1396.

Balhousie Castle and Bell's Sports Centre are located on its western edge.
