Day Trip - Welfare Association
The over-65's in Tayport are still talking about their day out.
On Thursday there were 147 in four buses and two private cars for the outing to Crieff organised by the old folks welfare association.
They travelled by Cupar, Milnathort, Glendevon, Gleneagles and were welcomed at Crieff by Lord Provost McLean.
Said the old folks club convenor Mrs Wm Grosert "the older they are the better they know how to enjoy life".

"Shorty" bit back an angry remark when he noticed he had been charged for a boy's haircut!
