Perth City Status Campaign Announcement
I am absolutely delighted to announce that I have just been formally notified that Her Majesty the Queen has granted City Status to Perth.
It has been a particular focus for all of us for the whole of my term as Provost and I am thrilled that we have been successful in our campaign for the restoration of City Status for Perth.
The news will further energise our preparations for the biggest Diamond Jubilee Celebrations in Scotland taking place in Perth in June.
Thank you for all of your support.
Dr John Hulbert
Provost of Perth and Kinross

National Youth Pipe Band of Scotland joins Diamond Jubilee Parade
One of Scotland’s most talented musical groups, The National Youth Pipe Band of Scotland, will join the Diamond Jubilee celebrations in Perth on 2nd June 2012. The group, a growing force in the pipe world will join 1,000 pipers and drummers from around the World.
The National Youth Pipe Band of Scotland is a non-competing cutting edge performance pipe band for 10-25 year olds in Scotland. Launched in 2002 by The National Piping Centre, the National Youth Pipe Band is the first and only organisation of its kind to bring together Scotland’s most talented young musicians at a national level. Membership is drawn from across Scotland’s 32 councils, and young pipers and drummers come from an array of different competing pipe bands and musical backgrounds, brought together as a collection of the very best chosen to play for their country. The National Youth Pipe Band provides unique development opportunities for its young members and an exceptional musical experience for its audiences. The NYPB is a dynamic, exciting, and modern spin on the traditional pipe band experience, and performs both at home and abroad. Continue reading
Perth in bid for city status
Bookmakers (William Hill) have placed Perth in the top two in the race for winning city status. Perth is one of 26 entrants in the Diamond Jubilee City Status Competition to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Queen’s ascension to the throne.
A determined effort has been led by Provost John Hulbert of Perth and Kinross Council to officially regain the grandeur lost in government reorganisation over quarter of a century ago. With the announcement expected next month, the efforts appear to be paying off, with bookmaker William Hill placing Perth as second favourite.
