HOSTING the Royal National Mod last year brought a £2.5 million uplift to the Perth area’s economy, with 98% of spending taking place in the Fair City over the cultural festival’s nine days.
The 130-year-old event, which celebrates Gaelic language, music, and culture, featured a variety of competitions, performances, workshops and activities.
The 2022 event saw a 130% increase in in-person attendees since 2021 when some Covid-19 restrictions were still in place. It welcomed more than 7500 visitors and providing an economic uplift that helped support around 30 full-time equivalent jobs.
