It was! If you travel up to Scotland, I really recommend an autumn visit to Perth & Kinross (anywhere in that region but Pitlochry is especially nice!) I think it's the most beautiful part of Scotland, personally ❤️

We also now better understand how passengers get to the station. Our colleagues in ScotRail are surveying passengers three times a year, and from their work we can now see that walking is the most popular way that people get to rail stations.

Enormous thanks to Perth & Kinross Council Archive, who checked a document reference this morning for me. I found a young black boy in a household in 1773 Perth, and want to add it to an academic journal paper I'm finishing. The digitised Ancestry image missed the pencilled ref number. Verified now.
