Remberbuck Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 OK, Perth history, my specialist subject. Just above the horse drawn cart, beside the tram you can see where the High Street takes a slight bend to the north. Why? This is the boundary of the very early medieval town before the Norman planned burgh was laid down. If you follow the line of the early part of the High Street to the west you go to Hospital Street, the original road to the south west that goes to what is now Needless Road and the Necessity Brae. Best preserved early medieval townscape in Scotland. (South Street is the planned addition part - straight line from west to east in contrast to High Street). Boring for Scotland.

Remberbuck Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 (edited) Starter for 10. Name the film this appears in, albeit very briefly. Follow up question - why was the magnolia tree in the garden special? Edited September 25, 2009 by Remberbuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McD Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 was it the 39 steps? (apparently Buchan wrote it when staying in the house that has sat empty opposite the Grampian Hotel for years?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burghsaintee Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 I remember seeing it, but I cannot remember the title. The actress in it was the aunt of a girl I worked with in the early 80's, but I cant what her name was either. Old age doesn't come itself.

Remberbuck Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 was it the 39 steps? (apparently Buchan wrote it when staying in the house that has sat empty opposite the Grampian Hotel for years?) It should be the answer, but "No". Buchan wrote "The 39 Steps" in 1915 when he lived in London, being part of Army Intelligence. As far as I am aware John Buchan never returned to Perth after his father left for Kirkcaldy when he was an infant. The York Place house, a Free Church manse, was where he was born, and, as you say, sadly neglected. His father's church was the old Knox Memorial in Kinnoull Street.

gingermunkie Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 My Dad is currently doing a study on the lade for an OU course. He's left it until the last minute as usual and found that the people he needed in the museum are off sick today and its got to be posted on Monday! I was wondering if you could help? Do you have any photos of the lade, particularly the one of the workmen who found the old wooden pipes when they were relaying the streets near the lade? He's been shown this in the museum but couldn't get hold of it today. Cheers in advance for any help you can give. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The actress in it was the aunt of a girl I worked with in the early 80's, but I cant what her name was either. Old age doesn't come itself. To kill the suspense. (Irony) "Tunes of Glory" starring John Mills, Alec Guinness, and written by a local lad, James Kennaway, who went to Glenalmond, so probably wasn't a Saintee. The magnolia was the most northern in the world. An object of wonder, but not very big ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
