Abstract

This article explores everyday ritual practice in medieval Perth, particularly with respect to the cult of saints (including saints’ dedications) and as evidenced by material culture. The author deliberately focuses on one site, the Perth High Street plot excavated in 1975—1977, and its rich crop of devotional and ritual objects in an attempt to understand ritual and religious practice in a particular time and place.
