BySandra Gray
A number of road restrictions and closures will be in place in Perth city centre at the weekend for the Perthshire Adventure Festival.
On Saturday, pedestrians are advised that access will be limited on High Street and King Edward Street.
A number of activities will be taking place throughout the day, including a zip line, triathlon and climbing wall.
Only vehicles associated with the adventure festival or emergency services will be able to gain access to the High Street between 9am and 5pm.
On Sunday, Tay Street will be closed from Canal Street to Marshall Place between 7am and 7pm.
This is to allow for street activities for the Adventure Festival and the dragon boat race in the afternoon.
A spokesman from Perth and Kinross Council said: “Every effort has been made to minimise the impact on the passing public who are not attending the Perthshire Adventure Festival.
“We apologise for any inconvenience.
“However, to ensure the safety of the staff and public attending these events, these restrictions and closures are necessary.”
