Historic theatres revived by Lottery millions

A £500,000 award to the venue where Ewan McGregor discovered his love of acting tops a multi-million-pound list of lottery funding successes for some of Scotland’s most famous and well-loved theatres.

The Heritage Lottery Fund has revealed that Perth Theatre, where McGregor attended a youth group as a boy, has been granted £500,000 to transform the fabric of the building, which has been in urgent need of repair for many years.
