Loch Rannoch on polling day

Video: Having a laugh with Cooncillor Bob

Here is a nice little video of Tina with Councillor Bob Ellis at Blair Atholl on polling day. Bob was easily the nicest Nat we met all day, and is definitely a Liberal at heart. Well done Bob. Good stuff.

Our signs are lying on the ground because the very nice (but very strict) returning officer would'nt allow us to place them against the building, and Bob would'nt allow us to lean them against the SNP boards!

Mopping up day in HP

A bitty day today, moping up all the little bits and pieces. At 5pm, we had done all we could do.

Election day tomorrow. Thanks to all the many people who have helped to date.

The count is taking place at 10.30am on Fri morning at the Breadalbane Community Campus.

Big Leaftetting Blitz

WE had 11 people out today helping us with HP by-election campaign.

We managed to leaflett Blair Atholl, Killiecrankie, Pitlochry, Ballinliug and Aberfeldy. About 2500 leafletts in all.

Well done folks.

VC

Success!

One of the responses to our resident's survey was the very poor standard of maintenance in Aberfeldy graveyard (pics below). The issue ws taken to the council and in less than a week, all the trees and weeds between the gravestones have been cleared away, the grass mown properly and the whole place looks a lot better.

Residents' surveys work!!

And again....

And again.....

At the top of Glenlyon

Here are a few photos from Glenlyon today, plus another few out and about on the Tay on Friday. You can see here that water is being released from the dam. There is a short video of this below.

It took me about six hours to get up here and canvass houses on the way back down the glen.

None of the othr candidates had been yet.......

A walk along the Tay

All roads converge on Pitlochry

All the candidates in the HP by-election seemed to be in Pitlochry today (except for Willie Leszke of course who is in America). We covered Blair Atholl, Ballinluig, Balnaguard, Grandtully and Aberfeldy as well, getting out 1115 letters to postal voters.

Well done to all concerned. Great effort folks.
