Free festive car parking across Pershshire

Residents are being reminded that free festive car parking can be found in several Perthshire towns as well as Perth.

Perth and Kinross Council offers free parking on Saturdays during December in Crieff, Blairgowrie, Pitlochry and Dunkeld. And Aberfeldy parking is always free at the spacious council-run car park behind the Co-op.

To give everyone an incentive to shop, free parking will apply on Saturdays in December - with Sundays free anyway

The ticket machines are covered where the scheme is in operation.

The free weekend parking does not apply to on-street parking bays, which are required for short stay parking.

Perth has 19 car parks where shoppers can leave their motor for free.

In Crieff the free weekend parking in December covers James Square car park. In Blairgowrie it is at Leslie Street car park, Croft Lane / South Side car park and also The Croft/Ericht Lane car park. Dunkeld drivers can park for free at Tay Terrace car park and Atholl Street car park.

No tickets are needed at Pitlochry’s Atholl Road car park, Ferry Road car park and Rie-Achan Road car park.
