“I am thrilled to see so many local businesses come out on top at this year’s Scottish Hospitality Awards. This is a testament to the incredible array of top tier establishments in Perthshire, and to the hard-working staff who keep them running.

I hope that the awards will help to l attract even more visitors to these fantastic venues and I encourage all readers to remember to support local wherever possible.”
