The 156th Perth Show has provided a huge multi-million pound boost to the city.

The two-day event welcomed thousands of visitors to Perth city centre for the biggest annual agricultural show in Scotland.

Spectators basked in glorious Perth sunshine for a weekend of family fun at South Inch.

Guests from across the country travelled to the park for the only show of its kind in the heart of a Scottish city.

Chairman of this year’s show, John Ritchie, said the financial boost it brings to Perth is huge for the city, with audience numbers up from previous years.

The Care of Gowrie team dig their heels in at the show.

He said: “It’s a great social occasion.

“It’s the 156th year we have been going, so it’s a big tradition in the city and it’s always a focal point for the end of summer for people to meet up with friends.

“We don’t know the official numbers yet, but the gates are definitely up on past years.”

Secretary of the event, Neil Forbes, also said how important the show is to the city.

Eva Sinclair’s fancy dress costume was a swimming success

He said: “It’s obvious from what we can see that farmers come into the town and do a bit of shopping and the hotels and restaurants are thriving from it.

“Everyone is getting something out of it.”
