The Easter holidays are here and many families might find themselves at a loose end.
But with everything from ice sports to museums on offer, there is no shortage of activities in Perthshire to get involved with.
We have put together a list of the top five things to do in Perthshire that can keep all the family occupied this Easter.
Beatrix Potter Exhibition, Birnam Arts Centre
Beatrix Potter is most often associated with the Lake District in England but you may not be aware that many of her childhood summers were spent in Scotland.
The family had a long and heart-felt connection with Dunkeld & Birnam and the surrounding area, and the Birnam Arts Centre has a special exhibition dedicated to the author.
Take a walk through the idyllic Beatrix Potter Garden to visit Mrs Tiggy Winkle in her house, see Jeremy fishing by his pond, watch out for Mr Fox, and, of course, see if you can find Peter Rabbit himself.
There is even an Easter egg hunt running from April 1 to 18 for the family to get involved with.
Entrance is £3 per person and no more than £12 per family.
