Pitlochry Scout troop founder's clock restored and on display in Moulin museum

A fascinating clock has been restored and come back to Highland Perthshire to be put on public display.

Deputy First Minister John Swinney, the MSP for Perthshire North, visited Moulin Heritage Centre last weekend to formally hand over a skeleton clock into the care of Moulin Kirk Trust for them to display in the Moulin and Pitlochry Heritage Centre in the former parish church of Moulin near Pitlochry.

The clock was originally presented to John Dixon, who is best known in the Pitlochry area as the first Scoutmaster of the 1st Perthshire Pitlochry Scout Group which was one of the first Scout troops founded in 1907, just after Baden-Powell’s famous Brownsea Island Camp.
