Autumn Festivals in Dunkeld (1)

Decorated Wheelbarrow Procession

The Decorated Wheelbarrow Procession is part of Dougie Maclean's Perthshire Amber Festival. Wheelbarrows representing local business, community groups, families and individuals, were pushed from the car park opposite the Taybank music pub, up the Boat Road, right into Bridge Street and then left into The Cross (High Street). The parade was led by the wonderful Edradour Pitlochry & Blair Atholl Pipe band.

This year's event was compered by Fiona Richie of The Thistle and Shamrock fame, and participants were interviewed before demonstrating the maneuverability of their decorated wheelbarrows by driving them through a figure-of-eight course.

Here's our take on the first part of the event. Enjoy!
