Perth College UHI Principle and Chief Executive Margaret Munckton said: “It is wonderful that Perth and Kinross has won the vote out of the 20 regions competing. We have a lovely campus in the city centre which is used daily by thousands of people. Whilst contributing to our economy and society, of course we deserve a place on the board."
