On Tuesday, 21st July 2026, PCs Duncan and Sinclair from South Perthshire Community Policing Team had the pleasure of attending “Magnitude”; an annual 5-day Christian Youth Festival for young people aged 11-18 years, held at Lendruick Muir near Kinross. It is attended by various youth organisations from all across Scotland and was a huge success, totalling around 2300 attendees. We had a great time chatting to all the different groups and even got to meet a group who had come across from America to support the event.

Young people are often stereotyped as being troublemakers, but this was a reminder of the positive impact they can have. Throughout the event, we experienced respectful, friendly, and engaging interactions with everyone and this created such a welcoming atmosphere for everyone involved.

It was great to see so many young people coming together to enjoy an event respectfully in what was a positive experience for Police to be part of.

Thank you to the organisers, volunteers, partner agencies and most importantly, the young people who represented themselves and their communities so well. We look forward to supporting more events like this in future.
