Folkie or Perthshire people, does anyone have a physical copy of the album 'Festival at Blairgowrie' (Topic, 1968)? I would love a scan of the sleeve notes if anyone has them to share! Thanks 🥰

Had the best day yesterday showing a fantastic group of students from the University of Basil around Highland Perthshire, introducing them to the Scottish Folk Revival.
My highlight was discussing Gramsci with them outside of Hamish Henderson's childhood home 🤩
Not sure if I'm allowed to share group photos, so here I am in Glen Shee expertly identifying their mini bus as it came up the road 😅
