PERTH & KINROSS — Council Early Learning and Childcare teams wrapped a programme of October holiday play sessions across the area this week, from craft mornings in Aberfeldy to den-building on the North Inch, and parents reported children returning home “tired in a good way” and “carrying half the park”.
Applications had closed in advance. Sessions ran in Alyth, Breadalbane Campus, Coupar Angus, Glenearn, Letham, Kinross, Loch Leven library, Rattray, Scone and more.
“My son built a den,” said a North Inch mum. “Then it rained. Then he built it again. That’s the curriculum.”

No letters yet. The town is uncharacteristically quiet.
