What a weekend! 🚗

Classic Car Weekend brought real buzz to Perth, with the city centre packed with families and visitors.

Hot off the press, footfall figures show nearly 11,000 movements in a single hour on Saturday, an incredible turnout.

Even better, the event has helped raise over £5,600 for TASH for Ukraine, thanks to donations from people who visited the The Morris Leslie Group private vintage collection. A big thank you to all who donated.

And we’re not done yet… a full weekend of celebrations is coming later this month, with twinning celebrations, European Pipe Band Championships and City of Perth Salute.

A big well‑done to Marcus Tyler, this week’s winner, for capturing this brilliant shot of a badger exploring the woodland floor.

Badgers are famous for their incredible underground homes, some setts are so old and well‑built they’ve been used by generations of badger families, with parts dating back centuries!

Could you be next week’s winner? Share your favourite photos on the Pictures of Perth and Beyond and you might be the one we’re celebrating next time.
