What a great day at the official opening of the new Oakbank to MacRosty Park all abilities link path this week!

This project is a wonderful example of how partnership working and collaboration between different organisations can deliver the aspirations of communities in a way that makes a really positive difference - and working on projects like this is one of the things I love most about my job!

This has been such an inspiring project to work on - the community has been so engaged and so enthusiastic and it is lovely to see the positivity and excitement around the application and the opportunities that being could bring for Pitlochry!

Well done to the volunteers at Pitlochry Community Action Trust - PCAT and the teams at Pitlochry Festival Theatre and Perth and Kinross Council for leading this on behalf of the local community 🙌🙌

Working with our community and in collaboration with Perth and Kinross Council and Pitlochry Festival Theatre, PCAT has submitted Pitlochry’s application to become the !

Thank you SO much to everyone who took the time to contribute 🙌🙌 We’ve had people of all ages and from all walks of life engaging with the application process and putting forward ideas and suggestions that have been included in the submission.

This is a wonderful opportunity, and we know there’s some serious competition out there but Pitlochry has a great story to tell and we want to share it with the world!

Really interesting day at the Tay Country Tourism conference today on behalf of a number of clients and our sister business CraicN Cabins.

There were some great sessions from VisitScotland, The Enchanted Forest, and lots of local businesses as well as sessions on accessibility and inclusivity, the new age of AI - and of course it’s always exciting to hear from Alan Cu***ng and share his excitement for everything that is happening in Pitlochry and Pitlochry Festival Theatre at the moment!

It was a day full of ideas, inspiration and information and really showcased the importance of working collaboratively and keeping conversations going - moving forward TAY-gether!

Great morning at the Perthshire Talks Tourism event for the launch of the new Perthshire narrative tool for businesses and organisations in the region.

Along with several other organisations and businesses, including VisitScotland, Perth and Kinross Council and the Perthshire Tourism Partnership, and representing several of our clients, we were involved in the development of the narrative and it is fab to see it out in the world now for everyone to use!

Together we can all help to raise the profile of this stunning place we are lucky enough to call home!

It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!

We spent a cold but heart-warming afternoon yesterday at the Blairgowrie and Rattray Christmas Lights switch-on and the late night shopping events - there was a lovely atmosphere and it was great to see the town buzzing with activity and fun for all the family!

Blairgowrie & Rattray Development Trust Ltd is doing some outstanding work in the local community to address issues around the ongoing cost of living crisis and the different ways that is impacting on people's lives. It was great to have the opportunity to share that experience with the people who are forming policies that will affect that work in the future.
