Popular Perth tourist destination Pitlochry has expanded its affordable housing offering with a new development.

Caledonia Housing Association handed out the keys to all 12 new flats at Elm Court, off Atholl Road. The two-bed bedroom flats are spread out across two three-storey buildings.

Mrs Sasara, a new resident at Elm Court along with her husband and daughter, said: "Moving into this flat will be life changing for us. We currently live in staff accommodation with shared facilities, so having our own home is just so amazing."

Andrew Kilpatrick, Caledonia Housing Association's Director of Assets, added: "We are really pleased to be able to increase the availability of affordable housing in Pitlochry. This will no doubt be welcomed by the large number of hospitality staff in the area, as well as families looking to move into new, quality accommodation.

"We received many enquiries about our Pitlochry flats and we have been really pleased at how quickly we have been able to house our new tenants."

This new development is part of Caledonia's current five-year business plan, where they have committed to build more than 750 new affordable homes.
