Chiropodist Carol Williamson said she would be closing her shop for the duration of the three-day summit.
She said: "I am going away and leaving them to it. We are not used to this sort of thing. I was going to go on the march but after what happened in Edinburgh I do not think it is safe.
"The police presence has been fantastic, it is very reassuring. I feel like if there is any trouble the police can be called on easily. They have all been very friendly. This is just very bizarre for us."
I know Auchterarder well and Gleneagles too. The little town is a linear town with all the dwellings situated along the main street. It is called the Lang Toon and is a wee bit like Balamory without the colourful houses. The only real trouble they have in Auchterarder was when the Rangers and Celtic fans stop for a comfort break travelling to and fro Glasgow. With that experience dealing with violent anarchists would be no problem to the local constabulary.
I noted in the news one of the few businesses to remain open yesterday was an Auchterarder antiques dealer. Maybe he was acting out of principle or felt he could corner the market selling artifacts to discerning anarchists, only time will tell.
