Crail Town crier Robert Kircaldy passed away on May 23rd 1912.

I first posted this in 2012 and all I had on it was the pic titled Crail Town Creir 1905,but after a wee bit research found what I believe to be his name on this quote from the obituary page on the 23rd May 1912 edition of the East of Fife Record.

"A well known figure has passed away in the person of Robert Kirkcaldy, late Postman, Church Officer and Town Crier at age 84. He was quite a character in many respects, and nothing awakened Robert’s sense of greatness more than when out with his Drum."

The drum is now lodged in The Crail Museum.

The harbour village of Crail, situated in the East Neuk of Fife, Scotland, hosts the annual Crail Festival during the third and fourth weeks of July. Nearly 40 events for adults and children spread over 11 days is supplemented by longer-running activities such as a putting green.
