Election Day - Auchterarder

Candidates boards outside Aytoun Hall in the High Street. A Conservative Party official assists an elderly voter in descending the stairs after casting her vote - it won't do his candidate any good though, she came second behind the sitting Scottish National Party candidate. It would be a historic night for the SNP, making huge gains with many seats won from Labour. The historic opportunity to change the UK voting system from the existing First Past The Post method was rejected on the same day.
