READ NOWMayor Henry Zelones said the event was a fun opportunity for both Scottish and non-Scottish locals to come together and compete in the fun run, listen to bag pipers and try some haggis.
“It’s a great day out for the community, and also welcomes many visitors to our City,” he said.
“The wonderful thing about the Perth Kilt Run is that proceeds from registrations go to local charities, Headspace Armadale, the Amanda Young Foundation and the Intensive Care Foundation.”
