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.

The Scotmid Coop:-

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:-

While in Meigle we had a wander round and found the kirkyard had some interesting features.

Vanora’s Mound:-

This is supposedly the burial mound of Vanora, the legendary King Arthur’s Queen, otherwise known as Guinevere:-

A stone on the Church wall commemorates the burial place of Henry Campbell-Bannerman and Sarah Charlotte Campbell-Bannerman. Henry Campbell-Bannerman was once Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, the first to formally hold that title apparently, and also the only PM to die in No 10 Downing Street though he had been succeeded as PM by Herbert Asquith ten days previously.

This gravestone mentions a James Bruce who died at the wonderfully named Pocahontas, Illinois:-

Meigle is a village in Strathmore, Perth and Kinross.

We went there to see the Pictish Sculptured Stone Museum but unfortunately it was shut. We’ll get there another time.

I did manage to find the village War Memorial, a pair of gates at the entrance to the local Park:-

Great War Names:-

Second World War Names. These include the recipient of a Victoria Cross, Lieutenant Commander M D Wanklyn:-
