Alyth

Alyth is a town in Perth and Kinross which we went on to visit after we had left Meigle.

It’s a lovely wee place with a burn running through the town centre with several bridges over it, of which the one in this photo is the most scenic:-

I found two minor Art Deco buildings.

And this one, a hair salon:-

Right by the town square is a Boer War Memorial:-

Its dedication plaque commemorates three individuals. David Stanley Williams, ninth Earl of Airlie, Noel Neils Ramsay and Charles James Wedderburn Ogilvy:-

Art Deco on a Tin

I spotted the tin whose lid is shown below in an antique shop.

The picture on it is of the Coop drapery in Workington as it was back in the day:-

I didn’t buy the tin. Since we moved to Son of the Rock Acres I don’t have room to display the ones I already have.
