This is a short story I was commissioned to write by artist June McEwan, for a youth arts project. The story had to be about MacRosty Park in Crieff, Scotland, and suitable for a family audience. It was subsequently used as the starting-point for a short animation created by young artists, which you can see on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7aBt7s_9pY&feature=share I'm posting it here so that anyone who is interested in the story can read it! I based the action of the story on the real life history and topography of the park, although the characters are of course fictional!
