Waverley47708 Posted June 20, 2018 Author Share Posted June 20, 2018 (edited) For those arriving by train and not overly familiar with Perth, best advice is not to leave via the main entrance / exit, rather leave via "the ramp" between Platforms 4 and 7. Up the ramp left on Glasgow road then left on to the walkway which takes you to the Dewars Centre. Edited June 20, 2018 by Waverley47708 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waverley47708 Posted June 21, 2018 Author Share Posted June 21, 2018 (edited) That is unfortunate. I have a shopping list for paint. DT Had a quick look through the list of traders. Squires who will be in their usual spot always bring a wide range of paints. Pretty sure others will have stocks of paint Eileen's Emporium and possibly Harburn Hobbies. Possibly Footplate and others. Hope you will get what you are looking for. Anyway 2 sleeps to go......................

Waverley47708 Posted June 21, 2018 Author Share Posted June 21, 2018 (edited) Another day another map. Important info for traders / exhibitors who are heading South on the A9 (between Perth and Stirling) on Friday evening after 1930. The A9 will be closed Southbound between 1930 on Friday evening and early Saturday morning just beyond Broxden Roundabout (the one with the grouse sculpture rising from the trees). The diversion is via the A85 - Methven, Crieff, and Muthill! That is a bit of a long way round to divert round a relatively short closed section immediately South of Broxden Roundabout. Last night I used a much shorter diversion which is shown below. Head up the A92, Glasgow Road, about half way between Dewars and Broxden take a left just past the Cherrybank Inn onto B9112, Necessity Brae (funnily enough Necessity Brae is after Needless Road!) The road takes you past Aviva and under the M90, follow the road until you come to the junction next to the bridge over the River Earn. At that point head back up the hill (B934) sign posted A9 Auchterarder and this will bring you onto the A9. NB the good news is that it will not be closed Northbound on Friday night and once reopened early Saturday morning there will be no road closures over the weekend itself.
