Quote from: Susan Band on April 14, 2018, 08:02:10 AM
As a heads up to anyone planning to visit this great show. There is a Classic Car tour round Perth based on Tay Street. As a result at some point during the day there could be delays on the Old Perth Bridge (the one leading from Scone and Blairgowrie) there also might be restricted parking around Tay street.
