A Highland Perthshire councillor has hit out at “mindless” graffiti that has been painted on roadside bins and signs along part of the A9 Perth to Inverness road.
Conservative representative John Duff feels the vandalism - an apparent demonstration by people who argue the earth is flat and a counter protest - is “spoiling the scenic beauty” of the area and incurring unnecessary costs for Perth and Kinross Council.
His views have been supported by Rhona Metcalfe, a guesthouse owner in nearby Blair Atholl, who is standing alongside Cllr Duff for the Scottish Conservatives in the council elections for the Highland ward in May.
