This charming small town is just a <a href="https://www.mtlblog.com/canadas-most-beautiful-village-montreal-road-trip-summer">road trip from Montreal</a>, and with its old stone buildings, riverside strolls, and tree-lined streets glowing with autumn colour, it's easy to pretend you've landed in the Highlands.</p><p>Just three hours from Montreal, the <a href="https://www.narcity.com/ontario-small-town-scottish-vibes-perth">small Ontario town of Perth</a> will make you feel like you've been whisked away to the cozy, leafy streets of the U.K. And in the fall, when the leaves turn red and gold, the whole place transforms into a dreamy, picture-perfect weekend getaway.</p><p>Founded in 1816 by Scottish immigrants, Perth wears its heritage proudly. Even its name is a direct nod to its namesake, Perth in Scotland, and you'll spot the Celtic influence as soon as you arrive. </p><p>The downtown core is lined with historic stone buildings crafted by masons in the 1800s, giving the entire town a timeless, European feel.
