JOHN R. ALLAN
John Allan , who takes over ' The Week in Scotland' for the month of September, is one of the few contributors to Scottish programmes who lives in a castle. Glendevon was associated with Archibald Bell the Cat, and for a time was haunted by the ghost of Green Jean. It is understood that Mr. Allan had been successful in laying the spook. It is, however, as the author of' Farmer's Boy' that Mr. Allan is best known.
Before retiring to Glendevon he was on the staff of the Glasgow Herald. As he lives midway between the thickly-populated areas of Edinburgh and Glasgow and not too far away from the Highlands, his comments on Scottish news for the week should have that agreeable angle of detachment which is somewhat difficult to attain if one is living, as it were, close to the news.
