Guildtown

A small primary school with a single classroom, a library and a kitchen. It also serves the nearby villages of Wolfhill, Newmiln and St Martins. It is a feeder school for Perth Academy.[5] The second classroom was recently converted into a nursery. It does not own any sports grounds as it uses those at the public park, with which it borders. Every year it holds the Interschool Sports,[6] a sports-day like event in collaboration with Balbeggie, Collace and Burrelton primary schools.

The village hall, opened in 1911 as a public library and extended in 2004, is available to rent for events. It has changing rooms for the sports grounds in Guildtown Park and a kitchen.[1] In elections it is often used as a polling station for the surrounding area.[7] It has two 7kW electric car chargers.[8]

The public park is home to 2 football pitches, a combination tennis and basketball court, and a playpark. On 27th June 2013 a new playpark was opened approximately 30 metres to the east of the former one,[9] which was unsuitable due to frequent flooding. In May 2022 sections of the park were set aside as 'area to be allowed to naturalise'.[10] These areas are not maintained, encouraging biodiversity.

The Anglers Inn is located on Main Road. It contains a restaurant, public bar and five hotel rooms.[11] In June 2023, it announced it would close on 30 December that year.[12]

Guildtown is serviced by the 58 and 58A bus routes between Perth and Blairgowrie, operated by Stagecoach East Scotland. It receives 6 buses a day in either direction on weekdays, 9 on Saturdays and 3 on Sundays during normal operation.[13]

Construction work at the south end of the Stephens Phase 2 development

Stephens is in the process of erecting 84 new homes. Phase one was completed in 2016 and consisted of 20 homes, mostly bungalows, in the north of the village.[14] Phase two expands the village to the east with 64 homes and accompanying infrastructure, including 2 SUDS and a substation.[15] It is currently under construction, with residents having moved into plots at the north and south ends of the development.

Scone Estates, under their 'Guildtown 2036' plan, held meetings with community representatives in February 2022 and with the public in June 2022 as part of a public consultation for developing the field to the west of the village, citing new opportunities created by the construction of the Cross Tay Link Road.[16] If executed, this would increase the area of the village by 138%, from 40.1 acres (after the Stephens plan is completed) to 95.4 acres.[17]
