Welcome to the Rotary Club of Perth - Scotland

Dear Member or Visitor....

Welcome to the Rotary Club of Perth Scotland Web Site, whether a first time visitor or a regular. The site is published to keep our members and friends up to date with what is happening and to offer a flavour of what we are all about, our activities, our charitable involvements both locally and internationally and our community service projects.

First and foremost I wish you a Happy New Year, may it bring everything you hope for!

We have now collected almost all of the £36,081 pledged for the Silent Auction and will make the major donations to the Cornhill Mcmillan Centre and CHAS at Rachael House in the very near future. If you were fortunate enough to be a successful bidder; I hope that you have received your LOT and are enjoying it.

Club Members are currently enjoying some R&R before tackling our next challenge, we recently enjoyed our annual family lunch as part of the festivities! See Picture slide show on the Club News Page.

If you think you might be interested in helping at a more hands on level and would be interested in joining us as a member of Rotary please get in touch with me at ben.j.gunn@btinternet.com and I will put the wheels in motion.

Please be assured that we extend a very warm Scottish welcome to our website, and further extend that welcome to all Rotarians worldwide, who would care to visit us in Perth, we look forward to seeing you!

Wishing you "All the best for 2012"

Modern Perth

Perth is a city rich in history but alive with a new energy. Perth Concert Hall is at the cultural heart of the city centre, providing a creative space where you

will be inspired to take time out to do business, network, innovate and share ideas.

It is a stunning, modern facility, designed by award winning architects and fully equipped with leading edge technology. The state of the art auditorium has seating for 1200, and can offer a range of contemporary, flexible spaces with capacities ranging from 16 to 100 for conferences, business meetings, exhibitions, events, and has been the venue for our annual Rotary Fayre.

Ancient Perth

Scone Palace is a place that breathes history like nowhere else in Scotland. Today, in the 21st century, it is home to the Earl of Mansfield, and a major attraction to visitors from all over the world. Fifteen hundred years ago, it was the capital of the Pictish kingdom and the centre of the ancient Celtic church.

In the intervening centuries, it has been the seat of parliaments and the crowning palace of Kings. It is the rightful home of the Stone of Destiny, on which all Scottish and British Kings and Queens have been crowned, immortalised in Shakespeare's Macbeth.
