In Focus
Perth Museum opened to visitors in 2024 in the former Perth City Hall. It provides a fitting
home for a wide range of objects that put Perth and Kinross at the heart of the story of Scotland. The most
significant exhibit in the museum is the Stone of Destiny, or the Stone of Scone, one of Scotland and the UK’s
most important historical objects. Returning to Perthshire for the first time in over 700 years, the stone is
the centrepiece of Perth
Museum. ( More ...)

Bloody Orkney by Ken Lussey (29 June 2021).
Bloody Orkney is a fast-paced thriller set in Scotland during World War Two. It’s November 1942. Bob Sutherland, Monique
Dubois and the Military Intelligence 11 team fly in to review security in Orkney, home to one of the most important and most
heavily defended naval anchorages in the world. But an unidentified body has been found. It becomes clear that powerful men
have things they’d rather keep hidden and MI11’s arrival threatens the status quo. Then Bob stumbles over a ghost from his
past and things get far too personal.
