Longest standing members honoured

The Famous Grouse has honoured a long standing member of the Perth agricultural show by helping him to celebrate a very special birthday on show-day.

Robert Robb, who farmed at East Mid Lamberkin, Broxden, raised a dram of Scotland's favourite whisky to mark his 95th birthday last Saturday at the showground at The Inch.

The annual event, now in its 142nd year, attracted 25,000 visitors and The Famous Grouse was the main sponsor for what is the city's biggest outdoor event.

Mr. Robb has an impeccable track record of attending the show, having attended for the first time in 1930 and every year since then.

Mr. Robb, who is related to the show's assistant secretary Vikki Robb, was delighted to receive a bottle of The Famous Grouse along with a congratulatory peck on the cheek from the brand's PR manager, Carol McLaren.
