Ambitious £12m project to light up landmarks in Perth
Council hopes bathing city in multi-coloured lights will attract more visitors.
Ambitious £12m plans to light up Perth city landmarks has been put forward to attract more visitors.
The proposals would see the Kinnoull Hill tower, Perth Cathedral and Perth Museum and Art Gallery bathed in multi-coloured lights in an effort to attract more people into the city.
The majority of the money will go towards replacing orange sulphur street lamps with low-cost LED lights but part of the vision would reimagine the city centre and make it a must-visit destination.
Perth and Kinross councillors tasked the Scottish company behind the kelpies in Falkirk, architectural lighting firm Lightfolio, to come up a range of suggestions.
The proposals are part of the regeneration ahead of Perth's UK city of culture 2021 bid.
The City of Light action plan will also include electronic visitor information boards.
Councillors will decide the proposals on Wednesday.
