Jewel of Kinross-shire
Visitors and local people now have an extra incentive to explore the beautiful areas around Loch Leven in Kinross-shire thanks to a new special offers guide launched by Perth & Kinross Council today. 'Loch Leven - Jewel of Kinross-shire' is a 28-page guide featuring over 20 money-saving offers from a diverse variety of businesses around the loch - everything from hotels and coffee shops to bike hire, bird watching and hot air balloon trips. The guide will make it even easier to explore this beautiful area and make the most of its wide range of attractions and businesses. It is a partnership project between the Council and local businesses, and is part of the Developing Rural Tourism project which is being supported by the European Regional Development Fund. Copies of the special offers guide are available from local businesses around Loch Leven, from VisitScotland Information Centres throughout Perthshire and also from the VisitScotland iPoint at The Pier, Kinross.
Perth 800 Time Capsule
Perth and Kinross residents have only a few days left to ensure they can become a part of history by donating a personal item to be buried in the Perth 800 time capsule. The Royal Air Forces Association and Perth & Kinross Council are working together on the time capsule project. It will be buried on the North Inch during a public ceremony. The project is to commemorate the 70th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain and Perth 800, and aims to capture what life was like in the early 21st century. It will be filled with letters, school projects, photographs and details of local people and organisations. Anyone who wishes to donate an item - whether it be a wedding picture, a family photograph, a news article, a letter, a CD or any other personal item - should take it to the reception at Blackfriars Development Centre, North Port, Perth, marked for the attention of Paul Rosie before this Friday.

Today saw the first free Live and Learn Activity Drop-in at the North Inch Community Campus for North Perth residents organized by Perth and Kinross Council.
The sessions which will be held from 10am to 12noon on Wednesdays are open to everyone and will run until November 17th.Art and crafts, cookery and other activities will be on offer at the drop-in, which will primarily be held in the North Inch Community Library on campus. Staff at the library will be more than happy to provide informal tours for people attending the sessions and talk about the range of facilities that are on offer.
