More than 1,400 people visited the opening evening of the Norie-Miller Walk Light Nights in Perth.

Despite poor weather, visitors turned out in their droves for the Burns-themed event on the banks of the River Tay.

The highlight of the evening was a display by fire jugglers, who performed accompanied by bagpipe music.

Catherine MacDonald wrote: “Great fun despite the grotty weather”, while Annelie Carmichael said: “We loved this and will be going again! Great event for a winter’s evening” and Nicola Liddel added: “Well worth a visit – beautiful lights in lovely surroundings by the river, even though we got drenched.”

The Light Nights are a continuation of the Perth 2021 Community Cultural Celebration Day, which took place in November.

Norie-Miller walk will be lit up every night between 3pm and 10pm until St Valentine’s day, when it will culminate on a romantic food and drink event.
