In Focus
Comrie in
Perthshire has a unique claim to fame. It is the
earthquake capital of the UK, being subject to more, and more intense, earthquakes than anywhere
else in these islands. Because of this it is sometimes referred to as the "Shaky Toun" or, in
Gaelic, "Am Baile Critheanach". One result of this is The

Eyes Turned Skywards by Ken Lussey (31 May 2018).
Wing Commander Robert Sutherland has left his days as a pre-war detective far behind him. Or so he thinks. On 25 August 1942 the Duke of Kent, brother
of King George VI, is killed in northern Scotland in an unexplained air crash; a second crash soon after suggests a shared, possibly sinister, cause.
Bob Sutherland is tasked with visiting the aircraft's base in Oban and the first crash site in Caithness to gather clues as to who might have had reason
to sabotage one, or both, of the aircraft.
