A former policeman who established a popular Perthshire holiday spot has died, aged 82.
John Lamb, known affectionately as Jock, was a well known character in the Perth and Kinross region and was behind two highly successful business ventures.
He began his career in policing with the Renfrew and Bute constabulary in 1955, before moving into the Perth city force three years later.
He remained part of the city team until 1966 when he left to follow a different career path.
He launched the Perth Delivery Service, which later became the well-used Perth Carriers.
He retired from the haulage business in 1997 when he launched his most ambitious project yet.
Mr Lamb decided to develop rural land at Leadketty, north of Dunning, into a caravan site.
The spot, which was registered as a Certificated Location site reserved for members of the Caravan Club, was highly praised and won many awards and commendations from the tourism authority.
He made good friends with many holidaymakers, who visited the site again and again, year after year.
The Dunning holiday park was also home to some of Mr Lamb’s favourite animals, including Jenny the collie, Murphy the donkey and Erin the Shetland pony.
Two goats, called Topsey and Turvey, were popular with visiting youngsters and there were also several chickens on hand to lay eggs for caravanning guests.
Mr Lamb was also able to follow his love of fishing at the site’s well-stocked pond.
Throughout his life, he had a great love for traditional Scottish dance music and he became well known in Scottish music circles.
Mr Lamb died after a long illness at Perth Royal Infirmary.
He was later interred at Perth Crematorium.
He is survived by his wife Iris, four children Avril, Ross, Janet and Greg, his grandchildren Laura, John, Caroline, Scott and Rachel, as well as great-grandsons Ben and Harris.
