Perth Christmas Light Switchon Festival

Pictures from the Perth Christmas Light Switch-on Festival.

A day of events in the town was followed by a number of acts performing on the stage at the bottom of the High Street, hosted by TayFM's Stuart Webster.

Once the lights had been switched on there was a short fireworks display, and the day capped off by a performance from the Red Hot Chilli Pipers.

The photos here show the JGN Dance Attic and Perth Rock Choir on stage before the fireworks, as seen from Perth's Queens Bridge. Following the fireworks it was back round to see the Red Hot Chilli Pipers. The last couple of pages show some of the Christmas lights around Perth.

Anti-Windfarm / Anti-SNP Windfarm Policy Protest March - Perth

Pictures here from a protest march through Perth and demonstration outside Perth's Horsecross Concert Hall where the SNP were holding their annual conference.

The protest was against windfarms and the SNP windfarm policy. Organised by the East Fife Turbine Awareness Group, it saw members of other groups with similar views from across Scotland join in.

The group formed at the South Inch and marched through the heart of Perth along Princess Street, St John Street, High Street and George Street before reaching the concert hall.

As part of their efforts, a red airship was flown above Perth's North Inch to demonstrate the height of a turbine.

The link to the full collection follows the pictures.

I am not affiliated to any of the groups involved.
