Memories of Aberdeenshire

Searching

I knew my grandfather and grandmother came from the area and we past through onto the town where they lived last - Strichen which was not too far away from New Pitsligo. I treasured the stillness and history of the area. Happy memories. Still searching for family from here Watt and Willox.

My Birthplace

I was born in New Pitsligo, Craigmaud farm or croft on July 10th 1929. My father was John Watt too, my mother was Charlotte Walker. I live nearby in Mintlaw. Father was in business at Ugie Motors, Strichen. I am looking for relatives of my late mother.

My House in New Pitslogo

I used to live at No 39 Low Street for a good few years. My neighbours Stanley Robertson, William and Christine McPherson and Jeeny Stewart and across from me were the Mutches. I also went to the school there from 1962 until 1970.

The Coulls, Pittulie

My Granda was Jimmy Coull and his Dad built the last house on your right going out of Pittulie towards the Broch. He remembered it originally had an earth floor. He was a lovely Granda. When my sister was emigrating a few years back, her, myself and our Mum (his daughter) went for a trip around the North East, back to Pittulie and Belhelvie and out to Turriff and Methlick (on my Dad's side). We parked the car at the end of Pittulie and walked back to Granda's house, passing two older ladies out for a walk. They kept staring, finally turned to us and said that they recognised my Mum as a Coull. Turned out one of them was at school with Granda and remembered him and his brothers and sisters. It was very surreal but lovely. Her Dad had even helped my Great Granda build the house, gable end to the sea back at the turn of the century.......
