Celebrations across Perth and Kinross mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee over the long weekend

(Perthshire Advertiser)

Celebrations to mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee took place across the region from Thursday to Sunday.

The Black Watch Castle and Museum hosted a sold-out street party event in the courtyard grounds.

A picnic, Platinum Pebble Path and the chance to meet Lance Corporal Cruachan IV – a Shetland pony who is the Royal Regiment of Scotland’s Mascot – were all included in a day of fun and smiles.

Elsewhere, Scone and St Martins Fellowship Lunch Club’s latest meeting had a Queen’s Platinum Jubilee theme.

Nearly 50 local residents enjoyed soup and sandwiches with 1950s fillings such as Coronation chicken, corned beef and tinned salmon.

Cleish Primary School, meanwhile, played a starring role in helping set up celebrations. The creative Kinross-shire youngsters were busy organising decorations for the village marquee.

Pupils also gathered with locals to plant three horse chestnut trees as part of the celebrations.
