Railway Station
Does anyone know when the little station cottage got turned into? My mother lived there with Margaret Brown and James Brown, Jimmy as he was known, in - what do you call the street?
Help Please
I am looking into the history of King Street in Castle Douglas and have been told there was a church, where exactly I am unsure, but if anyone could help with names or pictures I would very much appreciate it. I have heard that it was situated near what is now a convenience store.
Scottish Young People's Orchestra, Castle Douglas
Oh my, happy times. Every Saturday was an exciting excursion from Minigaff to Castle Douglas to orchestra practice at Castle Douglas in late 1968+. Other members that travelled with me were were Margaret Whittaker, Jill Bannister, Fiona Simpson. Are you out there? It would be lovely to hear from you...
My Mother Was Born in Castle Douglas
My mother was born in Castle Douglas, her name was Anne Tompson. Her dad's name was Wilf Tompson. She had lots of sisters and brothers, if anyone thinks they are related, please email me. My mother is 74 now, she moved around a bit and now lives in Northumberland. I would love to hear from anyone who knows her. It's a great place, I spent lot of time there when I was young.
Not Actually A Memory But A Query...
There's a ruined church, still with roof but no windows and totally surrounded by overgrown shrubbery and a tall wall, just west of Glenlochar Barrage heading towards Laurieston. It's on the right hand side heading west and is in a little patch of greenery amongst the fields with only the roof visible from the road. There's an old green way up to it a few hundred yards long. I'm trying to find out more about it. Anyone have any information on it please? I have photos of it but I don't think I can add them on here...
My Old School
This is a view which I know very well as it is taken from Hardgate School playground - the school that I attended from 1939 to 1946. The little cottage on the left was occupied by Peter McAlister & his family and the next property was the School House. Mr Macnab, Mr Souter & Mr Forsyth were the headmasters living there during my school years. We went there to do our gardening - a kind of "dig for victory". There has since been another house built between these two otherwise the scene is virtually the same today.
My Most Memorable Corner
I lived at Corbieton Cottage for 22 years between 1939 & 1961 and this is the view I saw as I came down the hill to go to school, to Sunday school, to Scouts, to the Kirk, to the pub, the Hall, the bowling, the dancing, the concerts et al. On the left hand side, just out of picture is the big tree under which there was a seat and we all congregated there, young & old to hear the crac and put in our own tupenceworth. The road straight in front is School Brae & goes up to the school, it is part of the Old Military Road from Castle Douglas to Dumfries. Smith's shop was on the left and Montgomery's on the right the Post Office was run by Miss Montgomery and was attached to the shop owned by her nephew Bob. Further up the street to the right the Laurie Arms, the first minehost that I remember was Mr Roger, at that time there were petrol... Read more
