Archaeology at Scone Palace
Visitors to Scone Palace this week will see archaeologists at work. They are working to uncover the lost Abbey of Scone and digging around the famous Moot Hill, where Scotland's Kings were crowned from the 9th century. The Moothill and Abbey Survey Scone Project (MASS) aims to find out more about the origins and development of Scone.

Councillors seek ban on council house sales
Local Councillors want to block attempts to buy council homes in Perth and Kinross. The Scottish Government is asking for comments on a bill that would safeguard social housing for future generations. In order to do this it would end right-to-buy on new houses. Perth and Kinross is in the midst of a housing crisis and the council wants to see the government do more for the lack of available housing. The issue will be discussed in a meeting on Wednesday 19th August.


Local Businesses caught out by scam.

Traders have been receiving threats and demands for money after being caught up in an advertising scheme. Cold calls have been coming in from an organisation claiming to be selling advertising space in a magazine that supports the emergency services. Anyone who has then asked for more details has received an invoice demanding money.
Businesses are urged to be aware of all potential scams.
