This evening I handed a copy of my book ‘Broken Columns – The Spanish flu dead of rural South Perthshire 1918-1919 into Dunblane Library. Though the geographical scope of the book is within the boundaries of Perth and Kinross, in 1918, Dunblane was officially part of Perthshire. John Laidlaw who lies in Ford Road Cemetery, Crieff resided in Dunblane before relocating to Fort William where he died in December 1918. His family remained in Dunblane district after his death.
