The work of a Dunblane woman who helped to establish the renowned Dunblane Handbells Ensembles group more than 40 years ago has received a ringing Royal endorsement in the New Year Honours.
Elizabeth Cassidy Wilson - known as Lysbeth - a leading light of the group since its inception in 1977 - has received the British Empire Medal (BEM).
Dunblane Handbells Ensembles - who perform on Scotland’s largest sets of handbell instruments - are regarded as one of the country’s leading handbell groups.
