- The map was included in a bus-service risk report.
- The council said it had corrected the map and apologised.

## Summary

Perth and Kinross Council faced criticism after an AI-assisted map in a report on bus-route risks misplaced towns and lochs across the region. The errors drew public ridicule and raised questions about the council’s checking of material, as councillors considered changes to local transport.

Lochearnhead was shown about 20 miles too far north, Loch Tay was labelled Loch Tummel, and St Fillans and Kinross were also misplaced. The council said AI tools helped with the map’s presentation and that an updated version was being made available. It said the map illustrated broad areas of risk rather than precise locations, and apologised that it had been printed at a lower resolution than intended.
