A Perthshire church minister is planning a hymn-a-thon, playing hymns continuously to his flock until he has completed every single one in the hymn book.
Canon Ian Young MBE, rector of All Saints’ Church in Glencarse, is an experienced musician who studied as a music scholar at the Conservatoire in Edinburgh - and so will have no difficulty in playing all 600 or so hymns.
On February 24 and 25 he has invited members of the local congregation and any other people curious to see his nimble-fingered feat to sponsor him so he can raise funds for an Anglican primary school in rural Eswatini that was destroyed by an arson attack.
