Hostels in Perth, Scotland?

Trying to find a cheap place to stay in Perth in April but not having much
luck finding a hostel, independent or official.
Has anybody got any suggestions or recomendations?

Anyone been to or heard of Glendevon or Wester Caputh Hostels which are each
15 miles north and south of Perth?

The official SYHA hostel closed some years ago; shame, as it was a nice
hostel. AFAIK, there aren't any independents in Perth either.

Try this link http://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.u...ert/guest.html
which has some cheap'n'cheerful B&Bs listed.

I once tried to get into Glendevon on spec, but they only had one bed
left and no parking space, so I abandoned it. Looked like a nice enough
hostel, but a long way from Perth. Probably warmer than Falkland.

Never heard of Wester Caputh - is that new?

Glendevon was fine, but I'm going back nearly 20 years! The Hotel down the
road had Real Ales (one was London Pride IIRC, bit of a long haul!), so we
were happy. It's in a quiet rural location, on a fairly quiet "main" road. I
don't have any info on the Wester Caputh independent hostel.
