Eve Muirhead was awarded the freedom of the city as Perth Salute returned for the first time since 2019.

The event, which celebrates Perth, saw a parade march through the city centre from Thimblerow Car Park to the North Inch.

Stages on the North Inch hosted music and dance acts and there was also a medal giving ceremony.
