Scope and Content Pullars' Dyeworks, Kinnoull Street, Perth, Perthshire Pullars of Perth were the most celebrated and largest dyers in Scotland for much of the 19th and early 20th century. The Kinnoull Street works was built up from 1865, and covered a large area of central Perth. This view shows the east front of the building, in two sections, indicating the enormous scale of the works. The frontages were designed to be appropriate to the city-centre situation of the complex. The works gradually ran down from the 1960s, as the dyeing of clothes and furnishing fabrics fell out of fashion, as did mechanical carpet-beating, and centralised dry cleaning. The works closed in the 1980s and are being redeveloped. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
