Why
the name "Fair City" Singers?
Sir Walter Scott wrote of the ‘Fair City’ of Perth which is
how the choir got its name.
 Why
is the choir mascot a bee?
As our audiences well know, the choir colours are yellow and
black, so several years ago one of the founder members decided
to create a mascot in the form of 'Beartha Bee', incorporating
the old Gaelic name for Perth. See if you can spot Beartha
in some of our photos – she’s in at least three of them!
 Why
are the photos so small?
To
keep the page download times low. Most of the photos contain
links which open a new window containing a full-size jpeg
of the same image (typically 30 – 90 Kbytes) plus an
explanatory caption giving more information.
