DOCTOR SUCCESS Saturday 11th July saw Dr Graham Johnston of Alyth Health Centre and his brother-in-law, Graeme Gath- erer, a GP in Blairgowrie take part in the Great Kindro- chit Quadrathlon, an arduous race around Loch Tay. Proceedings kicked off at 6am when, alongside 120 other teams, they entered Loch Tay to complete a 1 mile swim. The second leg involved a 15 mile run over 7 neighbouring Munros and then down to the shores of the Loch. They then had to kayak 7 miles back up the Loch only to finish up with a 35 mile cycle. To stop the clock they had to slice a water melon in half with a Claymore - an occasion for which they felt it was nec- essary to don their customary "Jimmy" hats. The months of intensive training would appear to have paid off as not only did they finish first, they also broke the existing course record by 36 minutes - completing the race in 8 hours 10 minutes. Dr Johnston would like to extend a massive thank you to all those who sponsored him in the race, Prac- tice staff and Patients alike. Thanks to everyone's generosity he and his brother-in-law have raised in © G Johnston excess of £1,700 for Mercy Corps, an international aid Above: Drs Gatherer & Johnston prepare to slice the water melon and declare victory organisation. Thank you everyone! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DIRLIEBANE The Dirliebane Coffee Shop has been open for a year on 2nd August and has proved to be a very popular meeting place for locals and visitors alike, with many people returning on a regular basis.

Photo right, L-R: Margaret Aitchison, Dave Middleton, Glenda Keene, seated Rhona Murdoch © DH Todd PERTHSHIRE BRASS Perthshire Brass had another fantastic trip to Aschaffenburg in July, having been invited back after last year's tour. Traffic problems meant we were late arriving on the Friday evening, and our first concert was delayed by 2 hours! That didn't stop local band Melomania Obernau giving us a fanfare welcome as we stepped off the bus, then providing us with a fantastic meal and fun evening together. On Saturday we played in the city's main square, before doing a quick sound check and radio recording for the concert that night. Saturday evening was the main event, and we shared the huge stage with German, Hungarian and French groups. We received a standing ovation from the audi- ence of 1200, and some of us were interviewed for radio and TV. The whole concert lasted over 4 hours, meaning another late night for the players. Sunday was another full day, and following the previous evening's concert, we attracted a huge audience for our usual morning con- cert in Schontal park. A quick lunch provided by the Friends of Perth was followed with a performance at the Miltenberg festival. Again, we were made so welcome, and the local band gave us a nice send off by playing Highland Cathedral and Auld Lang Syne. Alyth was well represented through some of the players in the band, our drivers Ricky Don and Alan Lamb, and our pipers Callum Strachan and Kyle Macintyre. Callum will feature heavily on the TV broadcasts in Germany as the cameras were all around him for his performance. Kyle received lots of compliments for his playing and professionalism at the official reception with the Mayor of Aschaffen- burg. He obviously enjoyed his first trip with PB too, as he has de- cided to start brass lessons in an attempt to join the © G Annan band 'properly'!

Since that time, we have spent every weekend lovingly restoring it and finding some original features, such as the old stone fireplace, which was hidden behind two more modern additions.

The House of Major "Weir. From an unpublished water-colour sl-cteh by Mrs. J. Steicart Smith. TWELVE SCOTS TRIALS BY WILLIAM ROUGHEAD WRITER TO THE SIGNET EDINBURGH AND LONDON WILLIAM GREEN & SONS 1913 TO H. B. lEVING IX APPRECIATION IN FRIENDSHIP PEEFACE These adventures in criminal biography, begun at the suggestion of the late Mr. Andrew Lang, with his kind encouragement w^ere completed shortly before his death. Mr. Lang read them in manuscript. He was good enough to approve them, and had promised to write an Introduction when they came to be published. Thus, by his sudden passing, which has left literature so much the poorer, the • reader is deprived of what would have been the most attractive feature of the book. Dickens has noted the exclusive nature of a true professional relish, as shown in the enthusiasm of Mr. Dennis ; and while, personally, I find the people of our causes celebres more "con- vincing " than those of many popular and prolific writers, it is quite possible that the reader may not share my taste. I know the disadvantages under which the subjects of these studies labour in competition with their rivals of the circulating library. The fact that they were real men and women, who sinned and suffered in their day, and whose stories are unfor- tunately true, is alone enough to alienate the sympathy of a fiction-loving public.
