THE 1938 BOOK OF THE FRIENDS OF DUNBLANE CATHEDRAL
For the ninth year in succession Dr. J. Hutchison Cockburn has produced a substantial pamphlet (published by the editor at Dunblane) containing articles on the cathedral of Dunblane and kindred topics. The Friends of Dunblane Cathedral now number 750, subscribing 5s. a year, and they are at present panelling the Lady chapel. As at Canterbury and elsewhere, this modest co-operative effort is yielding good results. Indeed, the casual visitor to Dunblane can hardly realise that this charming little cathedral, except for the small choir, was a roofless ruin up to fifty years ago, when Ruskin commended its early Gothic in an often-quoted and somewhat extravagant passage. If it had still more friends, the work that is necessary would proceed more quickly.
