All The Bells; St John's Church, Knaresborough - Practice
So that Knaresborough could participate in Martin Creed's Work No. 1197, the bell ringers decided to invite non-ringers to come and have a practice at chiming the church bells to give an opportunity to as many people as possible to participate. This was one of a handful of practice sessions for a group of novices who will band together at 0812 on the morning of 27th July to help all the bells in a country rung as quickly and loudly as possible for three minutes 12 hours before the commencement of the opening ceremony of the London Olympic Games at 2012 hours.

Perth is a city in central Scotland, on the banks of the River Tay. It is the administrative centre of Perth and Kinross council area and the historic county town of Perthshire. It has a population of about 47,180.
Perth has been known as The Fair City since the publication of the story Fair Maid of Perth by Scottish writer Sir Walter Scott in 1828. During the later medieval period the city was also called St John's Toun or Saint Johnstoun by its inhabitants in reference to the main church dedicated to St John the Baptist. This name is preserved by the city's football teams, St Johnstone F.C.
There has been a settlement at Perth since prehistoric times, on a natural mound raised slightly above the flood plain of the Tay, where the river could be crossed at low tide. The area surrounding the modern city is known to have been occupied since Mesolithic hunter-gatherers arrived more than 8,000 years ago. Nearby Neolithic standing stones and circles also exist, dating from about 4000 BC, following the introduction of farming in the area.
The presence of Scone Abbey, home of the Stone of Scone (also known as the Stone of Destiny) where the King of Scots was crowned, enhanced the early importance of the city. Perth became known as a 'capital' of Scotland, due to the frequent residence of the royal court. Royal Burgh status was soon given to the city by King William the Lion in the early 12th century. The city became one of the richest burghs in the country, doing trade with France, the Low Countries and Baltic Countries for goods such as Spanish silk and French wine. The Scottish Reformation also played a big role in the city with the sacking of the Houses of the Greyfriars and Blackfriars, after a sermon given by John Knox in St John's Kirk in 1559.
The Act of Settlement later brought about Jacobite uprisings. The city was occupied by Jacobite supporters on three occasions (1689, 1715 and 1745). The founding of Perth Academy in 1760 helped to bring major industries, such as linen, leather, bleach and whisky, to the city. Given its location, Perth was perfectly placed to become a key transport centre with the coming of the railways, and its first station was built in 1848.
Today, Perth serves as a retail centre for the surrounding area. Following the decline of the whisky industry locally, the city's economy has now diversified to include insurance and banking. Due to its location, the city is often referred to as the Gateway to the Highlands.
Перт — город в центральной части Шотландии. Административный центр округа Перт-энд-Кинросс (до 1975 г. — административный центр графства Пертшир).
Считается, что кельтское название Перт, означающее «лес» или «заросли», позволяет датировать его III—IX веками. Однако наличие к северу от Перта римского форта Берта даёт основание разрабатывать версию об основании города римлянами.
Археологические данные доказывают существование города в X веке, а первое летописное упоминание Перта относится к XII веку, когда хартией ему был пожалован статус города.
Впервые Пертшир приобрёл особую известность благодаря Кеннету Мак Алпину, который стал первым королём объединённой Шотландии в 838 году. Именно он привёз в соседний с Пертом Скон легендарный Камень Судьбы, на вершине которого с тех пор совершались все коронации. На этом месте выросло большое аббатство. И даже когда король Англии Эдуард I вывез священный камень в 1296 году, Скон оставался центром королевства, и это обстоятельство всячески благоприятствовало развитию и процветанию Перта.
14 марта 2012 года Перт вместе с городами Челмсфорд и Сент Асеф получил статус «сити» в честь празднования бриллиантового юбилея вступления на престол королевы Елизаветы II.

Christmas Eve Church Bells St John's Kirk Perth Perthshire Scotland
Tour Scotland Christmas Eve video of church bells and carillonneur on visit to St John's Kirk in Perth, Perthshire. The carillon is played by striking a keyboard, the stick-like keys of which are sometimes called batons, with the fists, and by pressing the keys of a pedal keyboard with the feet. The keys mechanically activate levers and wires that connect to metal clappers that strike the inside of the bells, allowing the performer on the bells, or carillonneur, to vary the intensity of the note according to the force applied to the key

Early Autumn Drive To Outlander TV Location Tibbermore Church Perthshire Scotland
Tour Scotland travel video of an early Autumn road trip drive East on the A9 road then North on a narrow road on visit to the Outlander TV Location inside Tibbermore Church in Perthshire. Tibbermore Church, situated four miles west of Perth, Scotland, provided the perfect backdrop for an Outlander scene. In episode 11 of Outlander’s debut season, The Devil’s Mark saw Geillis Duncan and Claire Randall put on trial after being accused of witchcraft. Tibbermore Church was used for the witch trials. This Scottish church dates from 1632, though the site has been a place of worship from the Middle Ages onwards. It was remodelled and enlarged in 1789 to designs by James Scobie, made T-plan in 1808 and the interior refurnished in 1874. The present interior is little altered since that date. Some wooden pews have little doors with locks. Two galleries, east and west, are reached by stairs. Stained glass windows show Jesus baptised by John the Baptist and Queen Margaret.
