20 extra spaces for Etape Caledonia
Another 20 spaces for Etape Caledonia have been released today. A record breaking three thousand five hundred cyclists have already signed up to the UK's only closed road cycle event. The 20 extra spaces will go to those who pledge to raise at least five hundred pounds for Macmillan cancer care. Organisers hope to raise around one hundred thousand pounds for the charity. The 81-mile bike ride runs through Highland Perthshire. It'll take place on May the 17th.
Highland Perthshire tourism industry praised
Highland Perthshire tourism industries have been praised for pulling together to beat the recession. Thirteen businesses have come together to release a card to give people discounts during the peak tourism season. The safari card gets the user money off a number of attractions, including activity centres, restaurants and hotels. Visit Scotland have praised the idea, saying it'll drive the industry forward.
Army Highland Games hailed a success
Perth's first army highland games event's been hailed as a huge success. The 7 Scots brought local battalions together to compete in the games on the North Inch last Saturday. Tug o' war, weight throwing and the caber toss were among some of the games the highland regiments took part in. A parachute jump by the display team and the bands of 7 scots beating retreat were major highlights.
