The skyline is dominated by several high-rise flats. In addition to the new housing development in the north-east of Tulloch, homes have also been built to the north and west. These are in addition to the first development that went up in the 1980s in the valley behind the primary school, near the railway siding at the bottom of the hill. Between the housing and the railway siding is Perth Lade, which is sourced from Low's Work, a weir on the River Almond south of Almondbank, and empties away into the River Tay, near Smeaton's Bridge, via the city. A walking path runs parallel to the lade. Ladeside Court, a cul-de-sac off Fairfield Avenue, takes its name from the body of water. J. Pullar and Sons Ltd.
