Methilhill Primary 67 78

A Memory of Methilhill.

Stayed in Elmwood Road (35), that strange bit that was Methil but everybody thought was Methilhill. I was the one wi the big, black, daft alsation with the bad ear. Anyway my memories in no particlar order, the primary, 67 to 78. Headmaster Mr Shields (Wacky Acky Cacky?) Mrs Walker, Mrs Johnstone.. The corner shop Stevensons then Johnstones, the chipshop ( free chips for a load of newspapers). Hill Sixty, it was more like a mound, The Drapery. Garricks , where else could you get sherry and parafin on draft next to each other.The cheescutter at Simon Crescent gettin bumped, is that the right word? The Haunted Hoose, going for chestnuts at Cameron, going bird nesting, stealing, and trying to sell turnips round the doors , fishing doon the Dam. The rubbish dump, many a bit of junk collected there. Alex Houston scarring me for life with a golf club, accidently I may add. All the Laings , Eric , Kevin, James, Fiona, Jacqueline, Sandra, Helen and Mrs and Mrs of course. Peter Cooper for providing a great shortcut to Simon Crescent/Ash Grove. Stopping Stuart Penman being the cleverest boy in the primary. Kevin Laing for giving me my first fag. My classmates that come to mind, Bill Craig, the aforementioned Stuart and Kevin (when he went), George Thompson, Graeme Birrel, Arthur Cunningham, Steven Burns (Maxwell) and Jimmy Hunter (RIP).
