Perth Academy 'memorial' pine could be felled.
Councillors in Perth have approved controversial plans which could see the felling of a Scots Pine tree.
The tree stands in the grounds of Perth Academy but would have to be pulled down to make way for a new synthetic sports pitch.
Hundreds of pupils at the school called for the tree to be saved. They said it had become a tribute to two brothers killed in a car crash in 2009.
But the council's development committee approved the new pitch by one vote.
