Conference venue

The Scottish Economics Society's Annual Conference traditionally takes place at the Mercure Perth Hotel, Perth. We also make a point of moving part of the conference, in particular the Conference Dinner, to other interesting locales in Perth and Kinross. This year's Annual Conference Dinner will be held at Blair Castle, Pitlochry, Scotland.
