Latest News
- Society Web Site May Be Blocked By PKC
There is some evidence that Perth and Kinross Council are blocking access to the Society web site and bursary application system from school computers (including teachers' devices). We may be the victims of an over-zealous blanket blocking policy. The Society cannot confirm this, but if you cannot connect to our site from your school please try connecting from a home broadband connection or public WiFi access point using a non-PKC controlled device. Connections to our web site are strongly encrypted so your data are well secured, even on a public WiFi link. Also, please complain to PKC, requesting that they add our URL to their whitelist, or remove us from their blacklist. Thank you.
Bursary System Status
- Bursary Applications Now Open
Applications for student bursaries are now being accepted. Full details can be found on the Bursaries page and Application Procedure page. The closing date for receipt of signed/dated applications is 1st June - we therefore recommend 24th May as the latest date to pre-submit the on-line application form to allow time for printing and posting to the Society.
See the Bursaries page for more details about our student bursaries.

Artificial Intelligence Summaries - Beware
Please be wary of AI summaries of the Glasgow Perthshire as produced by search engines and other systems. Most are simply rearrangements of text skimmed from the Society web site, often losing nuance of meaning in the process. Some information is simply WRONG. These systems are really semi-intelligent (i.e. half-witted).
