Thank you to Euan, Nick and Richard @waterstones.bluesky.social in Perth for your kind welcome today and continued generous support of ‘The Sound of Many Waters’.
“In the Middle Ages the stone buildings… began to rise in the towns forming along the banks of the Tay. Churches lay at the centre of these burghs. Perth (from the Pictish/Gaelic for ‘woodland’) was chiefly known as Sanct John’s Toun, named after the church dedicated to the Baptist at its core. A range of ecclesiastical houses of continental European origin become established in and around it. These holy orders dapple like light on the waters of the Tay – the Augustinians at Scone, Blackfriars (Dominicans), Whitefriars (Carmelites), Greyfriars (Franciscans)…“
