==Geography== [[File:Perth adn Kinross topo.png|upright=1.5|thumb|250px|right|Topographic map of Perth and Kinross]] The [[Highland Boundary Fault]] runs across the region from the northeast to the southwest. This roughly divides the area between highland Perthshire, including part of the [[Grampian Mountains]], to the north, and lowland Perthshire and Kinross to the south. The highland area is intersected with [[glacial valleys]], often containing [[ribbon lake]]s, including [[Loch Tay]] and [[Loch Earn]]. The lowland area is a fertile region lying within the [[Central Lowlands]].<ref name="Britannica">{{cite web |title=Perth and Kinross |url=https://www.britannica.com/place/Perth-and-Kinross |website=Encyclopedia Britannica |publisher=Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc |access-date=24 August 2020 |language=en}}</ref> [[River Tay]], the longest river in Scotland, flows through the mountainous terrains of Perthshire and Kinross. Emerging from [[Loch Tay]], it flows eastward and, after joining the [[River Isla, Perthshire|River Isla]], it turns south and runs through [[Perth, Scotland|Perth]], before entering the [[Firth of Tay]].
