Shall we look through the square window, the round window or the arched window? Are you old enough to remember how, in the long-running BBC television programme for children "Play School" (the final episode of which was broadcast #OnThisDay 11 March 1988), the world outside the studio was glimpsed through the magic windows? And every day the viewers were invited to guess whether this would be through square, round or arched window. Well, from one of the arched windows in Dunblane's historic Leighton Library you can see Andy Murray's Olympic Gold Postbox right outside. Can you see it in the photograph on the right?
