Mr Cairncross was well-known in Perth and much further afield as a partner, with his late brother Alistair, in the long-established firm of A&G Cairncross, jewellers. His connection with the Council Archive goes back to the old days in the Sandeman Library when he kindly deposited records relating to his father’s trust. Along with good friend Archie Martin, and sister-in-law Mary Cairncross he was quick to support the setting up of the Friends of Perth & Kinross Council Archive. We were also pleased recently to receive a generous contribution from his own charitable trust towards the cost of equipment for our volunteers. It is apparent from the appreciations of his life that have appeared in the local press and the warm tributes at his funeral that Mr Cairncross will be deeply missed by his many friends and also by various organisations within Perth. On behalf of the Friends, we would like to pass on our sympathy to his family. Steve Connelly, Archivist Welcome to our eighth Friends newsletter. It’s been a busy quarter for our members and volunteers. First, our visit to Kinross House was most interesting. Arriving at dusk, the sweep up the drive to the spotlighted house was quite breathtaking.

    St Serf’s Church tower, Dunning, Perthshire Data Structure Report SS13.07 By Ewan Campbell St Serf’s Church, Dunning Excavations 2013 Table of Contents Summary 3 Introduction 3 Archaeological and Historical Background 4 Aims 5 Methodology 6 Results 6 The later medieval burials 6 The medieval church walls 7 The early structure 8 The early burials 9 Summary of the burials Discussion 10 Conclusions 12 Acknowledgements 12 References 12 Appendices 14 i) Contexts ii) Small Finds iii) Drawings iv) Samples v) Photos - 2 - St Serf’s Church, Dunning Excavations 2013 Summary A small trench was excavated along the north wall of the tower of St Serf’s Church, Dunning. The tower was shown to be of the same date of construction as the church, as it was bonded into the nave in its lower courses. Part of the north wall of the tower re-used an earlier structure as a foundation, providing rare evidence for a pre-12th century stone building. An earlier burial running under this foundation shows earlier activity on a different alignment, presumably dating to the early medieval period. Later medieval burials were also found. Details of the construction of the medieval church were uncovered. Introduction A small trench measuring 3 x 1 metres E-W, was opened along the north wall of the tower of St Serf’s church in Dunning, Perthshire (NO 01896 14491). The area opened was restricted by the presence of electricity service trenches immediately to the north, and by the conditions of Scheduled Monument Consent, as the church and graveyard are a Scheduled Ancient Monument (Fig 1).
