The Church of Scotland is making an unusual offer - a grand piano free
to a good home.

The Kirk's social care wing, Crossreach, is
shortly to be completing the sale of Leslie House in Leslie, Fife, which
was formerly one of its residential homes.

It has, however, been unable to find a home for
the building's grand piano and has only until this Friday to do so.

Miss Mary Macleod, Depute Solicitor to the Church of Scotland commented:

"Sitting in the entrance hall of this property is
a concert grand piano made by John Broadwood,
which I understand is not in the best of health
but should nevertheless be reclaimable with a little TLC.

"The building is to be redeveloped into flats and
the developers have no need for a grand
piano. We have been attempting without success
to find a new home for this. I appreciate that
for most of us, a concert grand piano is not on
our wish-list, but if anyone knows of a potential new home for it then
I'd be most grateful if they could let me know. It wouldn't be
necessary for the piano to be removed by Friday but it would certainly
have to be gone within a fairly short time thereafter."

Anyone who thinks they might be able to use the
piano should contact Miss MacLeod on 0131 240
2209 or email
