Change in Plan for Crieff Fire Station
Perth and Kinross Joint Fire
Committee have been told by the Scottish Home Department that their proposal to
acquire agricultural land at Duchlage Farm, Crieff, as a site for a new fire
station is “undesirable”.
The Home Department asked the Committee to review their proposals with regard to
the erection of a station on the site occupied at present by the existing
station. Subsequently the county architect reported that by demolishing the
existing station it would be possible to erect a new station by acquiring about
half of the ground they originally proposed to buy adjacent to the site.
Crieff Town Council have indicated that they are prepared to consider this
modified proposal, and the Fire Committee have entered into negotiations with
them.

New Fire Station
Mr. A.D.C. Main, of Windyedge,
chairman of Perth and Kinross Joint Fire Committee, formally opened the new fire
station in Crieff last night. He was accompanied by Lord Provost James A. Smart,
of Perth, and Bailie S.A. Lauder, deputising for Provost D.O. Maclean, of Crieff.
Bailie Lauder handed over long service medals to Sub Officer A. Crerar and
Leading Fireman John S. Campbell and David Shephard. With commentaries by
Firemaster A. Masson, of Perth, the Crieff firemen carried out various drills
and demonstrations for the large company which was present.
