Having tuned into the recording of Sir Harry Lauder singing 'Keep right on to the end of the road I was struck by the the amazing quality of the s1strathaven.com reproduction.
I first listened to this rendition some 60 years ago as a youngster of 12 years of age and even at that tender age was struck by the truly inspirational word of Sir Harry's words - Let's face it the message is timeless and absolutely spot on as the world faces what could turn out to be the worst financial crisis ever.
I would like to think that this picture and video would remain as a standard feature of the website. After all Harry lived amongst us and his name is synonymous with the town's heritage.
Thanks for the memory!

I want to share some other pictures of Sir Harry with local viewers.
This records the visit of the great Hollywood star of MGM - 'Danny Kaye' who is seen kneeling at the feet of the great Scottish Minstrel of Music Hall fame.
My wife recalls being that she and her class-mates from Strathaven Academy were allowed out of school early to line-up the drive of Lauder Ha' to wave to this big movie star of yesteryear.
