The well-known Philips family has a history spanning four generations in publishing, printing, retail stationery and the media generally and, until they passed on the title to what is now Trinity Newspapers, produced the Strathearn Herald every single week for almost 129 years.
Recently the firm’s magnificent antique Cossar newspaper printing press — a machine which had printed Crieff’s local paper since 1907 —was donated to National Museums Scotland.
