ALYTH IN BLOOM<br />
GETS TOGETHER WITH<br />
PRIMARY ONE<br />
Primary One pupils at <strong>Alyth</strong> Primary School have helped instal three<br />
tubs with flowers in the school entry area as part of their environmental<br />
studies project in the community.<br />
There was specialist help and guidance from members of the <strong>Alyth</strong> in<br />
Bloom committee, Chairman Marguerite McKenzie, Lorna Phillips,<br />
and Margaret Aitchison accompanied the class teacher Sandra Heap,<br />
nursery nurse Lesley McKay, and pupils to Sim’s Garden Center to<br />
buy tubs and plants to decorate the area.<br />
The area was given a pressure wash by Steven Gamlen and Crawford<br />
McDonald of Tayside Pressure Washers (Blairgowrie) based at<br />
Skirmie Park.<br />
The pupils now look after the tubs, weeding and watering as required,<br />
and were on hand to meet <strong>Alyth</strong> in bloom members last week. 1<br />
“The Lollipop Lasses”<br />
of <strong>Alyth</strong><br />
The spotlight this month falls on two special ladies- Ruth<br />
and Morna who have the responsibility of school “safe crossing”<br />
patrol for over 250 of our younger generation (and at times<br />
the parents or grandparents)<br />
Ruth has been 11 years in the job and is now seeing secondgeneration<br />
pupils. She wouldn’t commit herself to say whether<br />
this generation are better behaved than their parents!!!<br />
Morna has been “on patrol” for 5 years and like Ruth thoroughly<br />
enjoys the job, and feels it is very rewarding.<br />
They both agreed most motorists are very considerate but there is<br />
always room for improvement!<br />
At summer holiday time the primary 7’s are moving on to High<br />
School and saying their goodbyes and we are sure they appreciated<br />
being taken care of whilst crossing the road to and from<br />
school by Ruth and Morna, they along with all the other pupils<br />
ROYAL BRITISH LEGION (ALYTH) BRANCH<br />
WW1 Battlefield Tour – Belgium 22 nd September 2003<br />
There are a number of seats left on this trip for local folk start<br />
and return to <strong>Alyth</strong> in September<br />
Cost per person will be approx £210 (excludes food). It<br />
will be a Smiths coach with our own driver and there is a<br />
lot more to the trip than can be written in this advert<br />
Suffice to say – Where we go, when we go and everything else<br />
we do is up to us. IT IS an <strong>Alyth</strong> outing.<br />
Interested then speak to Jim O’Brien (Tel 632484) or Jim Husband<br />

49 seater coach in order to spread out and be comfortable.<br />
NEW VENTURE FOR ALYTH MAN<br />
NEED YOUR WHEELIE BIN CLEANED?<br />
I would like to bring to the attention of all local townsfolk, my<br />
intention to start up my own business. You may have had me on<br />
your doorstep looking for your support, but obviously time has<br />
been very limited in getting this venture up and running and so<br />
therefore I am appealing through <strong>Alyth</strong> <strong>Voice</strong> for your loyalty<br />
and support.<br />
I intend to start up my business cleaning and then sterilising your<br />
dustbin with disinfectant, on a regular basis. The cost to yourself<br />
would be £1.50 per dust bin with a special rate of £1.00 for old<br />
age pensioners. Your bin could be cleaned weekly: fortnightly:<br />
or monthly, or by arrangement. I hope to start my daily rounds<br />
at the beginning of <strong>July</strong>. I would appreciate your support and<br />
would ask you to call for a suitable time to provide you with my<br />
services. Or further information contact Jimmy Young

YOUR LETTERS<br />
BI-ANNUAL NEWSLETTER<br />
Dear Editor,<br />
<strong>Alyth</strong> Youth Partnership would like to take this opportunity to<br />
tell you what has been happening since January 2003.<br />
There are numerous clubs affiliated to the <strong>Alyth</strong> Youth Partnership,<br />
all of which are attended by Young People in <strong>Alyth</strong> and<br />
the surrounding area. <strong>Alyth</strong> Youth Partnership has been working<br />
to hard to bring more activities and provide more opportunities<br />
to the Young People by liaising with other organisations<br />
within Perth and Kinross and Tayside.<br />
The Youth Clubs is where it all started. Still running on a<br />
Monday and Tuesday night the club offers the Young People a<br />
place to meet their friends, play pool, access the Internet and<br />
access information a range of topics from Alcohol and Drugs<br />
issues to Sexual Health issues and Careers abroad and in the<br />
United Kingdom to name but a few. Occasionally a guest<br />
speaker will visit the Youth Club to inform, educate and entertain<br />
the Young People on their specialist subject. Recently we<br />
have had the pleasure of a Drugs Worker from Perth & Kinross<br />
Alcohol and Substance Misuse Team, and a Health Worker<br />
from Tayside Health Board.<br />
The introduction of healthy eating will start in early June. This<br />
will include pasta, noodles and baked potatoes with a range of<br />
fillings to encourage the Young People away from chocolate<br />
and crisps. Although the chocolate and crisps will be available<br />
to satisfy the sweet tooth.<br />
The Youth Clubs will continue to run on a Monday evening<br />
7.30pm until 9.00pm for P7 - 2nd year, and Tuesday evening<br />
7.30pm – 9.00pm for 3rd year – 17years old. 18 years and<br />
over will be considered volunteers and will be subject to a Police<br />
Check in line with Child Protection Guidelines.<br />
<strong>Alyth</strong> Boys Football has got off to a flying start. Held at the<br />
Diamond Jubilee Park and run by Rab Ross on a Tuesday<br />
evening 6.00pm – 8.00pm for 14years and under and Thursday<br />
evening 6.00pm – 8.00pm for 15years – 18years. The<br />
cost is 50p which will go towards equipment and trips to league<br />
and competition games. A unique opportunity for Young People<br />
to advance their football skills and hopefully progress onto<br />
<strong>Alyth</strong> Amateurs or even further. The training evenings are well<br />
attended and regularly see 15+ on each session with numbers on<br />
the increase. <strong>Alyth</strong> Youth Partnership has provided funding for<br />
team football strips which will get their first showing at a competition<br />
held in Dundee over the 5th and 6th of <strong>July</strong> 2003.<br />
SERVICES REQUIRED<br />
Do you know anyone in the area who sharpens garden tools?<br />
Please get in touch with the <strong>Voice</strong>– so we can pass on their<br />
number to all those gardeners in <strong>Alyth</strong> who require this service.<br />
Is there something you need fixed or serviced but can’t find<br />
anyone in the area to do it?<br />
Let us know and we will ask our readers for help.<br />

<strong>Alyth</strong> Skate Solution has continued to move from strength to<br />
strength and foundations have been laid (literally). Held on a<br />
Tuesday evening from 5.00pm – 6.00pm at the <strong>Alyth</strong> Community<br />
Wing. This collective of Young People came together<br />
to form a working body with the hope of getting a skateboard/<br />
BMX facility in <strong>Alyth</strong>. Thanks to their hard work through a<br />
fund raising Rock Gig in Blairgowrie Town Hall and sponsored<br />
Bike Ride through the hills to Bridge of Lintrathen and<br />
back to <strong>Alyth</strong> they have managed to raise funds to realise their<br />
dream. As a result trenches have been dug and cement laid in<br />
the Diamond Jubilee Park to accommodate the Half-pipe<br />
which has been gifted by Perth & Kinross Council. Public<br />
meetings are held by the ASS and your support would be appreciated,<br />
so keep an eye out for advertising posters. Also<br />
many thanks to the surrounding Business for their donations<br />
and continued support. The skaters look forward to having the<br />
ramp in place by the end of the summer holidays.<br />
<strong>Alyth</strong> Girls Group is held on Tuesday evenings 6.30pm –<br />
8.00pm at the <strong>Alyth</strong> Community Wing. Run by Lynn Mac-<br />
Intyre the club aims to provide fun and entertaining activities<br />
such as Internet access, arts and crafts and rounders. There is<br />
also the opportunity for field trips away skating, swimming<br />
and the cinema. There has also been the suggestion of the<br />
Girls Group helping to build a sensory garden for the local<br />
school.<br />
Thrillseekers has now finished for the summer. Run in Partnership<br />
with the Blairgowrie Police Force, <strong>Alyth</strong> Youth Partnership<br />
sits on the Thrillseekers Management Committee and<br />
has also provided many of the instructors who attend the club<br />
regularly. Football, Basketball, Badminton, Trampoline and<br />
Body Combat are some of the activities which are available.<br />
There has also been the Outdoor Sports Activities which have<br />
been run in conjunction with the Compass Christian Center at<br />
Glenshee. Hugely successful with Gorge Walking, Crate<br />
Climbing and Problem Solving Activities to name a few.<br />
Thrillseekers will be resurrected in September when the<br />
schools start for the new term, watch out for details.<br />
Field Trips always attract good support. <strong>Alyth</strong> Youth Partnership<br />
aims to provide its activities with little or no cost to the<br />
Young People or their Parents. Recent trips have included the<br />
Dynamic Earth Exhibition at Edinburgh. This exhibition was<br />
an informative event outlining the beginning of the universe<br />
right up to social-economic problems caused by modern technology.<br />
Fortunately it is very well presented and very easy to<br />
understand otherwise it would have been very dull. Fake earth<br />
tremors, cold rooms with small glaciers and tropical rain forest<br />
simulations added to the interactive environment. McDonalds<br />
was also well received on the way home.<br />
Dear Editor,<br />
I am compelled to email after reading Daniel Dewar's' wonderful<br />
pieces of work. I am more than delighted <strong>Alyth</strong> houses these<br />
wonderful people, with both talent and enthusiasm for life!<br />
I now wonder what other gems are hiding amongst us? - and<br />
hope, like the Dewar's, that they express their voices and talents,<br />
and enhance the <strong>Alyth</strong>, we know and love!<br />
Congratulations, and may you inspire others Mr Dewar!<br />
Yours Joyfully and Dramatically!<br />

TEDDY COMES TO ALYTH<br />
FOR HIS SUMMER<br />
HOLIDAYS ON HIS<br />
“LOTTERY” WIN<br />
<strong>Alyth</strong> is a small country town in Strathmore on the highland fault<br />
line, situated near the Perthshire /Angus boundary, it is 17 miles<br />
north of Dundee and 22 miles north east of Perth and it nestles below<br />
the <strong>Alyth</strong> Hill. It is believed <strong>Alyth</strong> was founded around 1000<br />
A.D. as possibly the place where drovers drove their cattle over the<br />
river, now called the <strong>Alyth</strong> Burn, and thence on to the bigger towns<br />
to be sold at markets. It has grown over the last millennium into the<br />
charming town it is today with the <strong>Alyth</strong> Burn, with its trout and<br />
sometimes salmon in it, bisecting the town with the lovely Market<br />
Square next to it with the lovely trees, flowers and seats.<br />
<strong>Alyth</strong> is in the centre of a very active farming area which has barley,<br />
oil seed rape, potatoes and raspberries as the main crops.<br />
<strong>Alyth</strong> has a population of approximately 2,500 people, its own primary<br />
school, post office, shops, fire station, doctors surgery, library,<br />
garages, hotels and bed & breakfast establishments.<br />
It is a good centre for golf courses (3 ½ courses within one mile of<br />
the town centre), walkers ( see Walk Auld <strong>Alyth</strong> & Walk <strong>Alyth</strong><br />
& Beyond) The Den, <strong>Alyth</strong> Hill, fishers (rivers, Loch of Lintrathen<br />
and the Backwater Dam ), bowlers ( <strong>Alyth</strong> Bowling & Tennis<br />
club), bird watchers (with Kinnordy, Loch of the Lowes, Drumore<br />
and Loch of Lintrathen all within 15 miles) historians ( with The<br />
Auld Arches site of a 13 th century church, Packmans Bridge built<br />
around 1500 A.D., birth place of James Sandy (1766-<br />
1819)”inventor of genius” the father of the Laurencekirk Snuff Box<br />
and the <strong>Alyth</strong> Museum which houses, historic farm implements and<br />
items from the past. It is no surprise that Teddy wants to have his<br />
summer holidays here after his “Lottery” win!<br />
As a regular passenger on the bus both<br />
to Dundee and Perth, I am appalled at<br />
the lack of consideration by car drivers<br />
parking around <strong>Alyth</strong> Square and Airlie<br />
Street.<br />
Reflect for a few<br />
moments, the size<br />
of these buses, the<br />
route they need to<br />
negotiate every<br />
hour they enter<br />
<strong>Alyth</strong> Square.<br />
These buses need a large turning area<br />
off the main street and immediately<br />
need to straighten up so they can<br />
squeeze thought a gap flanked by cars,<br />
vans and four wheel drives either side of<br />
the road, followed by a tight turn to the<br />
bus shelter trying to avoid dozy pedestrians<br />
who insist on standing on the edge<br />
of the pavement, not allowing the bus to<br />
swing round safely into position.<br />
On leaving the square the driver then has<br />
to drive the obstacle course of abandoned<br />
cars down Airlie Street.<br />
For several months I have been observing<br />
the parking around the square,<br />
Particularly at the time the bus arrives–<br />
with more than half the spaces empty in<br />
the parking bays it occurs to me that<br />
laziness is uppermost as most vehicle<br />
owners jump out of their cars and rush<br />
over to “Sims” or the “Bank”, a few<br />
extra paces would solve this nightmare<br />
for these very skilled bus drivers who<br />
must dread this journey several times a<br />
day.<br />
So vehicle owners, don’t hold up your<br />
arms in horror and scream and shout if<br />

TEDDY’S TEDDY BEARS TRAIL<br />
The Teddy Bears Trail is sponsored<br />
by <strong>Alyth</strong> & District Business Association<br />
and is a competition that has<br />
been designed for the young and the<br />
young at heart and it will start on<br />
Monday the 7 th of <strong>July</strong>. Collect a free<br />
entry form <strong>Alyth</strong> Post Office, Airlie<br />
Street or The Spar Commercial<br />
Street follow the instructions which<br />
will lead you round the town.<br />
Look for the Teddy Bears/ displays in the shop windows,<br />
answer the questions. For the young ones taking part<br />
please look and listen for the traffic as you cross the roads.<br />
Once you have answered all the questions please take your<br />
entry forms to The Doll’s House Shop, Camno Workshop,<br />
Commercial Street, <strong>Alyth</strong>.<br />
We hope you all have fun completing the Teddy Bear’s Trail,<br />
and visitors to the town have enjoyed their visit to <strong>Alyth</strong> as<br />
much as Teddy is.<br />
Thanks must be expressed to the compiler Mrs. J. McGill, for<br />
her work in producing the entry form, all the businesses for<br />
their Teddy Bear displays and their willingness to take part<br />
and to all who have entered and those who are going to do so.<br />
Have fun on the trail.<br />
Thanks must be expressed to Mr.W.Gordon of <strong>Alyth</strong> Post<br />
Office and his staff and Paul’s Spar, Commercial Street and<br />
his staff for distributing all the entry forms and to everyone<br />
who takes part in the Teddy Bear’s Trail.<br />
The winner will be announced at the September committee<br />
meeting.<br />
TED<br />
Consideration for our Bus Drivers PLEASE!<br />
your car receives dents and scratches–<br />
move to an appropriate parking space.<br />
As for disabled drivers, you also have<br />
to<br />
park safely as a door left<br />
open for more than a few<br />
seconds will be courting<br />
danger for yourself and<br />
other vehicle users in that<br />
particular area.<br />
A constructive suggestion would be to<br />
do away with the parking bays outside<br />
“Sims” and the “Bank” and leave a wide<br />
road for all vehicle users, with parking<br />
bays already in place beside the business<br />
surely that is ample.<br />
I wonder if the police and roads department<br />
are aware of the considerable hazard.

<strong>Alyth</strong> Environmental Group Report<br />
Gala Day<br />
The Group, like many others, were very disappointed that the Gala was<br />
cancelled. Much work from the members had gone into preparing for the<br />
day. It is now planned that a stall will be taken, at the Arts& Crafts Festival<br />
in August, to put on display the projects the AEG is involved in.<br />
May Tasks<br />
The latest two hour task, in May saw a clean up the old curling rink on<br />
the Market Muir, by five embers and two teenage lads. Michael Smailes<br />
and Richard Gould are working towards their Duke of Edinburgh Bronze<br />
Awards. It could be the ring might be used for some other purposes in<br />
future. Rubbish was cleared from the adjoining woods and the war memorial<br />
within the two hours. Clive is actively seeking the owners to discuss<br />
the possibility of more work there to restore the ponds and woodland.<br />
The group understands that there are “limitations of use “ concerning the<br />
Muir but would welcome the ideas of anyone for putting this valuable<br />
asset back into use.<br />
Drumderg Wind Farm<br />
All is very quiet, but things should perk up soon as a planning application<br />
was due to be presented to PKC during June. The website is still<br />
being worked on by Robert Stewart, it is hoped to be up and running<br />
soon.<br />
Recycling Point Facelift<br />
To be passed on to <strong>Alyth</strong> Youth Partnership as a possible future project.<br />
Beech Hedge At <strong>Alyth</strong> PS<br />
No response from the school re finishing this project.<br />
<strong>Alyth</strong> Hill<br />
The AEG is to contact Scottish Natural Heritage concerning an ecological<br />
survey. A cow, grazing on <strong>Alyth</strong> Hill, almost chocked to death on the<br />
top pf a plastic ”sucky” drinks bottle. This brings to light the problem of<br />
litter dropping particularly in places where the road cleaner does not<br />
operate. For the sake of other humans and the animals DON’T DROP<br />
LITTER, PLEASE TAKE IT HOME.<br />
Scottish Outdoor Access Code<br />
The group is grateful to member, Paul Fannon, for the work he has done<br />
in preparing the AEG’s proposed response. This will be distributed to all<br />
other members for comment and amendment prior to being returned to<br />
SNH.<br />
Den O’ <strong>Alyth</strong><br />
We now have the plans form the P&K Ranger Service, for wheel chair<br />
friendly paths which SNH has approved. The total cost of the project<br />
could be £70,000.<br />
The group has received £10,000 in funding from PK Countryside Trust.<br />
We have a promise of a further £10,000 from another source.<br />
We should hear soon if our Heritage Lottery Fund bid has been successful,<br />
meanwhile Clive and Charles are still putting bids together.<br />
Small Task Funding<br />
Small grants of about £200 are available from The Countryside Trust for<br />
jobs such as installing a kissing gate or signing.<br />

This path to <strong>Alyth</strong> Hill, is the subject of the group’s <strong>July</strong> task but it has<br />
been decided that some preliminary work will be carried out Sunday<br />
morning 22nd June. As always<br />
the <strong>July</strong> task will be at 2pm, 20th <strong>July</strong>, meeting at the junction of Strathmore<br />
Terrace and Trodlem.<br />
<strong>Alyth</strong> Road Sweeper<br />
Clive has found out that if anybody sees an area that needs cleaning the<br />
road sweeper will be pleased to hear about it as he does not work a fixed<br />
round.<br />

7.30pm<br />

TWAYBLADES AND SAND MARTINS by Paul Ramsay<br />
The swifts did come here, after all. They arrived here on the 26 th<br />
of May, about a fortnight later than last year, as I reminded<br />
myself by a chance reference to my piece for the June 2002<br />
‘<strong>Voice</strong>’.<br />
The pigs have moved from their winter quarters to a summer<br />
haven in a scrubby den. The vegetation there includes red<br />
berried elder and broom, for the most part, with a lot of wild<br />
raspberry, but there is some birch and I saw a well-grown hazel<br />
bush on the bank. At the west end of the den, by the old road<br />
that goes over to Kilry and Glenisla, there is a profusion of<br />
young ash saplings, the offspring of a nearby mature ash tree.<br />
Larch predominates on the steep bank south of the little burn. In<br />
their new place the pigs merge into the broom and elder and can<br />
stay hidden there, if they want, until feeding time, when they<br />
emerge into open ground. My hope for the pigs in their summer<br />
quarters is that they will create conditions in which birch and<br />
other trees find it easier to seed and thrive. It will be interesting<br />
to see if this is what happens and over what time scale.<br />
Twayblade, an orchid of damp and dark woodland, was pointed<br />
out to me recently by a friend, as we walked about. I admired<br />
the large pair of luscious leaves, set opposite each other, that<br />
give this plant its name. Above the leaves grows the slender<br />
spike with its green flowers. Fifteen years may elapse between<br />
the time that a twayblade seed germinates and the mature plant<br />
flowers. In this time the seed grows a rhizome, initially helped<br />
by a mycorrhiza, and root network. Eventually, the rhizome<br />
throws up the flowering spike and all is set for sexual<br />
reproduction.<br />
A plant like twayblade that needs fifteen years to go from seed to<br />
flowering needs to live undisturbed. Heavy machinery,<br />
hammering about over its head and compacting the soil in which<br />
it lives, is unlikely to be good for it. This is the case for many of<br />
our most interesting species and is one reason why it is important<br />
to look after the fragments of relatively undisturbed woodland,<br />
such as that in the Den of <strong>Alyth</strong>. And yet nature is dynamic:<br />
trees in ancient forests blow down and clearings result into which<br />
those opportunistic species of plant and animal move. Our<br />
problem in these small islands is lack of scale and that is why so<br />
much nature conservation seems to turn into a form of gardening.<br />
Standing by the pond some evenings ago I watched sand martins<br />
feeding on the insects flying above its waters. With their buff<br />
backs and white underparts they are the smallest members of the<br />
swallow family to breed in the British Isles. They breed in sand<br />
pits and I have seen their burrows in the banks of the Isla.<br />
Another evening of blustery wind I went, hoping to see them<br />
again, but it was too late: the shift had changed and bats were<br />
out, feeding where the sand martins had been before.<br />

The Magical Question of Viscum Album<br />
Does the magic of the mistletoe die when cut?<br />
Does it contain magic, or is the magic in the scythe that cuts it?<br />
Is the magic in the hand that wields the scythe?<br />
Is that in itself magic; the belief, or is it all just wishful thinking?<br />
If it is, is wishful thinking magic?<br />
Is that what magic is, or is it the result from the momentary kiss that<br />
is sometimes freely offered beneath the mistletoe?<br />
Could it be the potion that is sipped in the apple orchards beneath<br />
the moon, that allows the kiss to bloom within the wishful thinker;<br />
therefore allowing someone to feel the magic of love?<br />
Is that wishful thinking?<br />
….and upon that sip, the berry plucked from the drinker<br />
by the mistle thrush, who carries it to the source of the wish,<br />
and love swells up inside the heart of the dreamer.<br />
Maybe wishful thinking is magic, maybe not, but truthfully it does<br />
exist in love and love can stem from a kiss whether it is incited from<br />
the mistletoe or not. So therefore, the kiss is the only true magic. At<br />
least it was for me….and that was beneath mistletoe.<br />

ALYTH AMATEURS FOOTBALL CLUB<br />
P.A.F.A. CONSOLATION CUP WINNERS<br />
The Amies held their annual presentation/ dinner dance in the<br />
<strong>Alyth</strong> Bowling Club on Saturday 14th June. Over 50 players and<br />
supporters enjoyed a buffet/meal and dancing to the all girl band<br />
Unison.<br />
It proved to be another successful season for the Amies, with the<br />
club reaching the final of the Marshall Cup and winning the Consolation<br />
Cup. In the First Division, the club managed to finish in<br />
3rd place. As this had been very much a re-building period, with<br />
the bulk of the players being under 20, the club were delighted to<br />
win their 19th trophy in 14 seasons.<br />
President Rab Kydd presented the individual awards. Rab found<br />
out during the evening that he had become a grandfather for the<br />
second time!! Congratulations Rab!<br />
The club are in the process of putting together their own website.<br />
Once it is up and running, we will post details in “The<br />
<strong>Voice</strong>” and posters round the town.<br />
In the next edition of “The <strong>Voice</strong>”, details of the coming season<br />
will be given. The club are optimistic that season 2003/04 will be<br />
even more successful than this one. There are several improvements<br />
planned and these will be announced shortly.<br />
The club is immensely proud of it’s history and of what past<br />
players have achieved for us.<br />
We would like to thank the large number of people who give so<br />
generously of their time, hard work, support, advice, not to mention<br />
money. Thanks a million to you all! It’s the support of the<br />
community that makes <strong>Alyth</strong> AFC the best amateur football club<br />
in Scotland!<br />

sugar in a bowl. Add the cream and whip with a<br />
hand whisk until the mixture is softly stiff and holds<br />
its shape.<br />

refrigerate for about 2 hours. Before serving, decorate<br />
with the nuts and strawberry slices.<br />
