Perth and Kinross (''Peairt agus Ceann Rois'' in Gaelic ) is one of 32 Unitary Council Areas in Scotland , and a Lieutenancy Area . It borders onto the Aberdeenshire , Angus , City Of Dundee , Fife , Clackmannanshire , Stirling , Argyll And Bute and Highland council areas. Perth is the administrative centre. It corresponds broadly, but not exactly, with the former Counties of Perthshire and Kinross-shire .

Perthshire and Kinross-shire had a joint County Council from 1929 until 1975. The area was created a single District in 1975, in the Tayside region, under the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973 , and then reconsituted as a Unitary Authorty (with a minor boundary adjustment) in 1996 , by the Local Government Etc. (Scotland) Act 1994 .
