As far as housing is concerned, Killermont has the tenth top postcode in the whole of Scotland.

Killermont Parish Church had its Quinquennial Visitation this week. What could an organist pull out of the hat that was appropriate to the occasion?

Aha! You didn't realise, did you? Before the service, I played a movement from Schubert's Trout Quintet, and then Bach's C minor Fantasia in five parts. Somewhere in my repertoire, I have an outgoing voluntary with 5 beats to the bar, but unfortunately I couldn't remember which book it was in. Neither did I have the music for other tunes suggested to me anonymously. So, thwarted in my endeavours, I turned to opera for inspiration.

During the offering, you heard Puccini's Nessun Dorma, and the outgoing voluntary was Meyerbeer's Coronation march.

Now it's time to promote our evening service on Palm Sunday. At 6.30 pm on Sunday 26th March, the Choir will be leading a Lenten meditation, entitled Contemplating the Cross. You are invited to join us in Killermont Parish Church, Bearsden, Glasgow, for an hour of quiet contemplation. There will be contributions from the Choir, appropriate readings and hymns, and a time of prayer.
