Nostalgic memories of Milton of Balgonie's local history

Share your own memories of Milton of Balgonie and read what others have said

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our web site to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was when the photographs in our archive were taken. From brief one-liners explaining a little bit more about the image depicted, to great, in-depth accounts of a childhood when things were rather different than today (and everything inbetween!). We've had many contributors recognising themselves or loved ones in our photographs.

Why not add your memory today and become part of our Memories Community to help others in the future delve back into their past.

I was born at Balfour Gardens in l941 and grew up there during the War with my grandparents - Edward & Celia Veitch. The Veitchs were eight brothers & sisters and our Sunday gatherings were quite something. I also played in the old Balfour House but also in the one acre walled garden which has peaches, nectarines and goose berries a-plenty.I often recall these happy days. Edward Veitch, Cork Station, New Brunswick, Canada.
My wife Mary Ross was born and bred in Milton of Balgonie. We got married in July 1970. It has allways been a very freindly place and still is, even with a lot of outsiders livving here. I came from West Lothian in the late 1950s with my parents for the pits, and to educate the Fifers, which I think we have done a no bad job (only kidding!).
