Perthshire Potential for New World Heritage Site
Perthshire has been hailed as the perfect location for a new world heritage site, capable of attracting thousands of visitors.
The case for the creation of a National Roman Centre that would promote and protect the country's roman heritage was set out by Mid Scotland and Fife MSP Murdo Fraser.
Mr Fraser was joined amid the remains of Ardoch Fort – part of the Gask Ridge Fronteir - by members of the living history re-enactment society the Antonine Guard as he call for the backing of the Scottish Government. A short document entitled Perthshire's Roman Past details the many locations with Roman links and presses the government to help make the centre a reality.
New Trading Standards Inspection Project
Perth & Kinross Council's Trading Standards Service regularly carries out area inspection projects which concentrate on a particular geographical area within the council boundary. The next area chosen is the Council Ward 2, Strathmore. For two weeks from Monday 8th November, Trading Standards officers will be visiting business premises, by prior appointment if requested beforehand, or otherwise in the course of their 'walking the beat' in the area. During the visits, traders will be able to raise any matters of concern to them and receive advice from the visiting officers. The aim of the inspection is to visit as many as possible, if not all businesses in the Strathmore ward.
Carbon Community Action Project
Saturday sees Guildtown and Wolfhill Carbon Community Action Project, supported by Perth & Kinross Council, host an art event for local children, to demonstrate how waste that would normally be recycled or go to landfill can be given a second life by being used to make something unique. Children at Guildtown Primary School are being encouraged to collect various unwanted household items that could be used in the art session. A local art project will be leading the event which will run between 10am and 4pm on at Guildtown Village Hall, on the village's Hall Road.
Children of all ages are welcome to attend and some of the activities include, making a plastic bag fence and making juice carton wallets
