All ready to salute Perth Streets to be filled with music
year’s Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo at Edinburgh Castle.
This includes steel bands, jazz bands, mariachi bands, accordion bands and samba, helping to bring a carnival feel to the Perth parade.
Perthshire Brass, the Black Watch ACF Band, Perth and District Pipe Band and the Atholl Highlanders will also be entertaining the crowds on Sunday.
A large contingent of youth bands will be joining in as they are competing in the International Youth Band Festival at Perth Concert Hall.
And locally, there will be representation from the Sea Cadets, Army Cadets, Air Cadets, Boys’ Brigade, Scouts and Girl Guides, as well as other local youth organisations such as the Fair City Baton Twirlers.
Once at the arena on the North Inch, residents and visitors can enjoy static displays of vintage military vehicles, a display from Adventure Circus, model steam engines, a display from the British Legion Bikers Association and a show from the 7th Scots Jackals.
This will also be the last City of Perth Salute before Brigadier Sir Melville Jameson retires from the post of lord-lieutenant of Perth and Kinross.
Sir Mel introduced the City of Perth Salute four years ago as part of his role as the queen’s representative in the region. To mark the occasion, he will be given the freedom of the city at the close of the event.
Following his retirement, Stephen Leckie, CEO of Crieff Hydro, takes over the reigns as lord-lieutenant of Perth and Kinross.
The event is free to attend. Last year’s Perth Salute was a colourful event
