There were emotional scenes in Blairgowrie on Monday last week as the Ukrainian flag was raised in the Wellmeadow alongside the Saltire in a show of solidarity by local residents with those in the European country which is currently being invaded by Vladimir Putin’s Russian forces.
Around 100 people supported the ceremony, which was organised by members of the community over the previous weekend.
The Ukranian national anthem was played as the two flags were raised and was followed by a rendition of Blairgowrie -born Hamish Henderson’s ‘Freedom Come All Ye’.
