Perth’s official bid for the UK City of Culture crown is on its way to judges in London.
Delegates took the train on Thursday morning to deliver their long-awaited application for the prestigious 2021 title.
Perth and Kinross Council is competing against Paisley and other towns south of the border to host 365 days of events and attractions which could pump tens of millions of pounds into the local economy.

Among the “Perth pioneers” on the train were poet Jim Mackintosh and Andy Chan, who is renowned with his work with the area’s Chinese community.
