Blairgowrie

     Susan Brown has been in contact, and tells me about her grandfather, John Kellie, who was a member of the Blairgowrie, Ratray and District Pipe Band.

     She goes on to tell me that he may have been instrumental in re-forming the band after the Second World War.

     Although John was a Pipe Major, it has not been confirmed that he was in fact a Pipe Major at Blairgowrie. Can anyone tell me this?

     As you can understand, she is keen to investigate mor into John Kellie and the Blairgowrie Band, so she is temporarily on our "reporting staff"!!
